Is Vijay Deverakonda proudly flaunting his engagement ring amid wedding buzz with Rashmika in 2026?

Vijay Deverakonda made his first public appearance since rumours of his engagement to actress Rashmika Mandanna took over the internet and all eyes were on his hand. The actor, who was visiting the Sri Sathya Sai Baba’s Prasanthi Nilayam ashram in Puttaparthi, Andhra Pradesh, was spotted wearing a ring that immediately reignited speculation among fans.

Accompanied by his parents and younger brother, actor Anand Deverakonda, Vijay was warmly welcomed by the ashram officials with a bouquet of flowers. He looked serene and grounded, perfectly fitting the spiritual setting. Photos and videos from the visit quickly went viral, with fans zooming in on the ring and sharing their excitement across social media.

Engagement Whispers Grow Louder

The sighting comes just days after reports claimed that Vijay and Rashmika secretly got engaged at his Hyderabad home on October 3. According to several outlets, the intimate ceremony was attended only by close family members. While neither Vijay nor Rashmika has publicly confirmed the news, sources close to the Arjun Reddy star have reportedly said that the two are indeed engaged and planning a destination wedding in February 2026.

If true, this would be the next big chapter in one of South cinema’s most-loved real-life pairings. Fans have been rooting for the duo ever since they shared screen space in Geetha Govindam and Dear Comrade, and their chemistry has often spilled beyond the screen into fan theories and dating rumours.

From Reel Pair to Real-Life Couple?

This isn’t the first time Rashmika’s love life has made headlines. She was earlier engaged to Kirik Party co-star Rakshit Shetty in 2017 before they parted ways amicably to focus on their respective careers. Over the years, her bond with Vijay Deverakonda has remained a constant talking point, from public appearances to playful interview moments.

While the couple continues to stay tight-lipped, the latest ring sighting has only added fuel to the fire. Whether it’s a quiet confirmation or just a coincidence, fans are already celebrating what they believe is the real-life “happy ending” of their favourite on-screen pair.

Until either of them breaks the silence, one thing’s certain, Vijay and Rashmika’s story has everyone watching, waiting, and smiling a little wider.
