In a recent interview, Rashmika Mandanna was asked a cheeky yet intriguing question — if she were to have a swayamvar, which three actors would she want as potential grooms? While fans anticipated a mention of her long-rumoured beau Vijay Deverakonda, the actress threw a curveball with her reply.
She playfully named Ranbir Kapoor, Allu Arjun, and Thalapathy Vijay — three powerhouse actors who, notably, are already married. The moment her answer aired, social media lit up.
Fans were quick to note the cleverness behind Rashmika’s response. While it appeared as a light-hearted moment, many believe it was a carefully calculated move. By naming married actors, Rashmika perhaps tried to dodge any controversy that could stem from acknowledging her alleged relationship with Vijay Deverakonda — a topic that has consistently sparked speculation but never received confirmation.
Interestingly, Rashmika and Vijay have been spotted together on vacations, at private dinners, and even at each other’s family gatherings. Yet, both have maintained a dignified silence, neither confirming nor denying the rumours. Fans have long been convinced that something more than just friendship brews between them.
So when Rashmika deliberately excluded Vijay's name, the audience wasn’t buying the diplomacy. Some even suggested that by naming only married men, she was cleverly masking the one name that truly mattered. While Rashmika continues to charm audiences on-screen, off-screen she’s clearly just as skilled at keeping the mystery alive — much to the curiosity of her ever-watchful fans.
