Vijay Deverakonda has recently broken his silence on his relationship status, confirming that he is not single amid persistent rumors linking him to actress Rashmika Mandanna. During a promotional event for his new music video "Sahiba," the actor offered candid insights into his views on love, relationships, and marriage.

Relationship Status

In an engaging interview with Curly Tales, Vijay humorously addressed speculation about his single status, stating, “I’m 35 years old; you think I will be single?” His light-hearted response hinted at a commitment, although he refrained from explicitly naming Rashmika. When prompted about his dating history, he admitted, “Yes, I have dated a co-star before,” which many interpreted as a nod to his rumoured relationship with Rashmika, with whom he has shared notable on-screen chemistry in films like Geetha Govindam and Dear Comrade.

Vijay's reflections on love reveal a pragmatic perspective. He expressed uncertainty about the concept of unconditional love, stating, “I know what it is to be loved, and I know what it is to love. But my love comes with expectations.” He emphasized that he believes love can be conditional and criticized the tendency to romanticize relationships. “At the end of the day, it’s a good thing to be loved. Everything else is over-romanticized,” he remarked, suggesting that having expectations in love is normal.

Discussing the complexities of relationships, Vijay noted that while many people eventually marry, it should be a personal choice rather than an obligation. He highlighted the importance of building strong friendships before pursuing romantic connections, indicating a preference for meaningful relationships over casual dating.

Dating Rumors

The speculation surrounding Vijay and Rashmika has been ongoing since their successful collaborations in 2018 and 2019. Their frequent social media interactions and shared vacations have fueled fans' curiosity about their relationship status. Rashmika's close ties with Vijay’s family and her presence during family celebrations have further intensified these rumours.

As Vijay continues to navigate his career and personal life under the public eye, fans eagerly anticipate updates regarding both his romantic life and upcoming film projects. He is set to star in new films directed by Gowtam Tinnanuri and Rahul Sankrithyan, ensuring that he remains a prominent figure in the entertainment industry.
