South Indian cinema's most talked-about rumoured couple, Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda, have returned to India from their New Year vacation in Italy, setting social media and fan clubs abuzz with renewed speculation about their impending wedding. The actors, who reportedly got engaged in October last year, were spotted at Hyderabad's Rajiv Gandhi International Airport on Monday morning, arriving back from their European holiday.
Airport Arrival Amid Paparazzi Frenzy
Despite travelling separately to the vacation destination, Rashmika and Vijay were seen arriving together at the Hyderabad airport. Paparazzi were quick to capture their return, though the duo chose not to pose for photographs. They walked separately through the terminal, accompanied by their respective teams and security personnel. Both actors were dressed in casual, comfortable travel attire and wore masks.
Rashmika Mandanna opted for a chic yet cozy look, wearing grey trousers paired with a white turtleneck and a stylish black coat. Vijay Deverakonda kept it relaxed in loose black trousers, a leather jacket, and a blue cap, completing the casual travel ensemble.
Instagram Clues From The Italian Getaway
The vacation rumours first gained traction when both actors posted pictures from Italy on their Instagram accounts around the New Year. Although neither shared direct photos with the other, keen-eyed fans noticed striking similarities in their locations, suggesting they were holidaying together. Both Vijay and Rashmika posted carousel posts from Rome that featured their friends.
In one particularly discussed image shared by Vijay Deverakonda, a woman is seen resting her head on his shoulder. While her face is not visible, many fans and followers speculated that the woman was none other than Rashmika Mandanna, adding fuel to the relationship rumours that have persisted for months.
February Wedding Rumours Gain Momentum
The return from Italy has intensified speculation about a reported wedding scheduled for February 26, 2025. According to widespread rumours in the media and industry circles, the couple is set to tie the knot at a palace in Udaipur, Rajasthan. The rumours claim they got engaged in a private ceremony in October 2024.
When recently questioned about her marriage plans during an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Rashmika Mandanna offered a cryptic response. “I wouldn’t like to confirm or deny the marriage. When it is to be spoken about, we shall,” she stated, neither confirming nor denying the swirling reports.
On the professional front, both actors have busy schedules ahead. Vijay Deverakonda is gearing up for the pan-India action-drama 'Rowdy Janardhana' with Keerthy Suresh, slated for release in December 2026. Rashmika Mandanna, last seen in 'Thamma' with Ayushmann Khurrana, has a packed lineup including the highly anticipated 'Pushpa 3: The Rampage' and 'Cocktail 2'.
As the buzz around their personal lives reaches a fever pitch, all eyes are on the couple for an official announcement. Their Italy vacation and coordinated return have only deepened the mystery, leaving fans eagerly awaiting confirmation about the much-speculated February wedding.
