Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda Tollywood's favourite couple, have formally announced their engagement.

According to reports, the couple intends to get married in February 2026 after years of fan excitement and conjecture.

When Rumours First Started

Many people have fallen in love with them since their relationship started in 2018 while Geetha Govindam was being filmed.

Both Vijay and Rashmika have kept their personal lives private up until this point for all persistent rumours over the years.

Public Appearances That Sparked Speculation

Rashmika recently shared her thoughts on love and the qualities she looks for in a partner in an honest interview.

She said, “Being in love to me means partnership and companionship. You need a companion in your life. After all, if you don’t have them then what’s the point of having this life? You need someone to witness all of your highs and lows, and someone to stand by your side and celebrate life with.”

She also discussed the characteristics she values in a partner, “My most important thing in a relationship is definitely kindness, but also respect. When you mutually respect one another, genuinely care, and are responsible for one another... it all adds up. Being loving, empathetic, caring, having a good heart and being truly genuine are the other traits I need because this is what comes naturally to me.”

Fans React to the Big News

The news has been warmly received by fans and excitement is growing for what is expected to be one of Tollywood's most well known weddings.
