Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna, two of South Indian cinema’s most celebrated and closely watched stars, have once again set tongues wagging—this time with a romantic New Year getaway to Rome. Long rumoured to be more than just co-stars, the duo’s personal lives have consistently drawn as much attention as their professional achievements. While the actors themselves have remained largely tight-lipped about their relationship, their fans appear more convinced than ever that wedding bells are imminent.

Adding fresh fuel to this ongoing speculation, Vijay and Rashmika chose to welcome the New Year in the historic and romantic city of Rome. The couple reportedly spent several quiet days together, away from the public eye, before returning to India earlier this week. However, their attempt at privacy was short-lived. Upon arrival at Hyderabad airport, the two were spotted together, instantly reigniting conversations around their relationship and forthcoming nuptials.

A video shared by an Indian media outlet shows the pair walking side by side through the airport, projecting ease and familiarity. Rashmika Mandanna, widely admired for her understated fashion sense, opted for a relaxed yet chic travel ensemble. She was seen wearing loose grey trousers paired with a beige high-neck sweater, layered under a black jacket. With her hair worn loose, complemented by black footwear and sunglasses, the actress embodied effortless elegance.

Vijay Deverakonda, never one to shy away from making a style statement, matched her casual sophistication with equal flair. He appeared in relaxed-fit trousers, a black round-neck T-shirt, and a leather jacket, finished with trainers and a beanie. Despite both actors wearing face masks and being accompanied by their respective teams, their chemistry was unmistakable.

This is far from the first time fans have pieced together clues about the duo’s relationship. Only days earlier, Vijay shared a series of holiday photographs on Instagram to wish followers a happy New Year. Though Rashmika was not directly tagged or featured, eagle-eyed fans were quick to spot subtle hints suggesting her presence, prompting renewed speculation online.

According to sources close to the pair, their relationship has quietly progressed well beyond mere rumours. Reports indicate that Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna were officially engaged on 3 October 2025. Following this, preparations are reportedly underway for their wedding, which is expected to take place in 2026.

Further details suggest that the couple plan to marry on 26 February 2026 at a royal palace in Udaipur. Much like their engagement, the wedding is expected to be an intimate affair, attended only by close family members and a select circle of friends.
