Rashmika’s self-love post has fans asking—Is Vijay Deverakonda the man behind the rose?

In the whirlwind of packed schedules and box office triumphs, Rashmika Mandanna paused for a quiet moment of self-love—and her fans can’t stop talking about it.

The Animal actress recently shared a couple of aesthetically soft and floral photos on Instagram. With her hair in a messy bun tucked with a white flower, wearing a comfy printed kurta and holding a single red rose, Rashmika embodied peace and positivity.

The post struck a chord with fans, serving up some much-needed Monday motivation. But while Rashmika emphasized self-love, the internet had other thoughts.

Fans Can’t Help but Wonder: “Did Vijay Give You That Rose?”

The soothing tone of her caption was quickly overshadowed by fan curiosity. The biggest question flooding the comments section? Was the rose really a gift to herself—or from someone special?

Fans quickly turned to the one name that always makes headlines when linked with Rashmika: Vijay Deverakonda. The two have long been rumored to be dating, though neither has confirmed the relationship publicly.

“Credit to – Vijay Deverakonda,” one fan wrote.

“I hope Vijay gave you this,” commented another.

The speculation isn’t entirely baseless. Just earlier this month, Rashmika posted dreamy beachside photos from her birthday getaway in Oman—and fans were quick to notice that Vijay had posted from a similar setting, prompting theories that the two had celebrated her birthday together.
