Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna have long been at the centre of dating rumours, with fans closely observing their social media posts, often pointing out similarities in locations and timing.
In a recent interview with Filmfare, Vijay finally opened up — not directly about their relationship, but about the qualities he seeks in a life partner and whether Rashmika fits the bill.

“Any Good Woman with a Good Heart Fits the Bill”
When asked about his marriage plans, Vijay said, “I will definitely marry someday,” but clarified that he is not actively looking for a life partner at the moment. In a subtle response to whether Rashmika could be his future wife, Vijay replied, “Any good woman with a good heart fits the bill.”
This statement, though not direct, hinted at his admiration for Rashmika without confirming any romantic involvement.
Praise for Rashmika’s Character
While dodging the question about dating Rashmika, telling the interviewer to "ask insiders," Vijay did open up about her personality traits.
Good Qualities:
“She is crazy hardworking. She can beat anything with her will and determination. She is too kind and prioritises everyone’s comfort and happiness over hers.”
Bad Qualities:
“Same as the above. She needs to find a little balance.”
His words reflect a deep familiarity with Rashmika’s nature, praising her dedication and kindness while also pointing out that these very traits sometimes work against her.
Rumoured Relationship Timeline
The dating rumours surrounding Vijay and Rashmika date back to their on-screen chemistry in Geetha Govindam (2018) and Dear Comrade (2019). While both actors admitted in 2024 that they are in relationships, they refrained from naming their partners.
Adding to the speculation, Rashmika has often been seen at Vijay’s house and is known to share a close bond with his family. Notably, she watched Pushpa 2: The Rule alongside Vijay’s family in a theatre, and fans noted social media posts from both actors showing identical backgrounds around her birthday — leading many to believe they celebrated it together.
