Telugu cinema’s beloved duo, Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda, have once again set social media on fire this time, for all the right reasons. Just days after reports confirmed their private engagement ceremony in Hyderabad, Rashmika shared a heart-melting video on Instagram where she was seen wearing a sparkling diamond ring. Fans were quick to notice the stunning jewel and flooded the comments section with messages like “Finally she confirms!” and “That ring says it all!”
While neither of the stars has issued an official statement about their engagement, this subtle display has been enough to confirm what fans have long believed the “Geetha Govindam” co-stars are indeed engaged.
Rashmika Mandanna posted a casual Instagram reel earlier this week featuring her pet dog, Aura. In the video, the actress can be seen smiling and vibing to a soft background tune while cuddling her furry companion. But it wasn’t the song or her pet that stole the spotlight it was the dazzling diamond ring that glimmered on her left hand.
Fans instantly zoomed in on the video and began dissecting every frame. The comment section soon turned into a frenzy of excitement and love.
You posted this just to show your ring, didn’t you?” wrote one fan. We’ve waited for this moment for years finally it’s confirmed!” added another.
The post quickly went viral across social media platforms, sparking headlines and trending hashtags like #RashmikaEngaged, #VijayRashmika, and #VDandRashmikaForever.
According to reports from The Times of India and Economic Times, the couple got engaged in an intimate ceremony held in Hyderabad earlier this month. The event was reportedly attended only by close family members and a few trusted friends from the industry. Sources close to the couple revealed that both Rashmika and Vijay wanted to keep the engagement private and away from the media glare, considering how closely their relationship has been followed over the years.
They didn’t want a lavish event. It was all very personal, emotional, and traditional. They exchanged rings in front of family and performed a small pooja,” a source was quoted as saying by a Telugu entertainment portal. Although no official pictures from the event have been released, both stars have been dropping subtle hints ever since.
Interestingly, just a day before Rashmika’s viral Instagram post, Vijay Deverakonda was seen wearing a similar band during his spiritual visit to Puttaparthi, where he paid his respects at the Prasanthi Nilayam ashram. A short video clip shared by a fan page showed the actor greeting devotees, his hand briefly revealing a silver-platinum ring. The coincidence did not escape eagle-eyed fans, who were quick to connect the dots.
“Both are wearing rings — this is not a coincidence!” commented one user on X (formerly Twitter).
“Rashmika’s video + Vijay’s ring = confirmed engagement,” another user wrote.
The moment became symbolic — two stars quietly acknowledging their bond without uttering a single word.
