Thanks to "The National Crush," Rashmika Mandanna has once again thrown social media into a frenzy. During her airport appearance today, a cheeky paparazzo, caught off-guard, wished her "Congratulations on the wedding" instead of her husband. With a playful blush accompanied by an enigmatic response denying, this has only stoked the rumors that she and long-time rumored partner Vijay Deverakonda are indeed on track to marry this month.
The Viral Airport Encounter
Rashmika was seen in a smart, casual outfit on a flight from Mumbai—a brown top paired with flared denim. Rushing towards the terminal, Rashmika ran to the right side when the photographer yelled, "Congratulations on the wedding, Rashmika ma'am!" The Pushpa 2 star simply couldn’t conceal her smile. She looked back, smiling a little, and said:
“I don’t know what you’re talking about!”
Despite verbal denial, media followers were eager to point out her blushing face and that she and Vijay were seen at the same airport, just hours apart, leaving in what they said was the same car.
The “Udaipur 2026” Rumor Mill
Talk about the Wedding “ViRosh” (Vijay and Rashmika) is louder than ever before. Industry insiders and various reports have proposed a timeline for the couple’s fates:
- The Date: February 26, 2026.
- The Venue: A heritage palace in Udaipur, Rajasthan.
- The Engagement: The couple reportedly had a secret, intimate engagement in October 2025 at Vijay’s home in Hyderabad.
- The Reception: Rumors had it planned for their film industry colleagues and political figures on March 4 in Hyderabad that they would have an extravagant reception with them.
Rejecting the "OTT" Deal?
To top it all off, a recent news article speculated that the big OTT streaming service (potentially Netflix) was offering the couple ₹60 crore for exclusive rights to film and stream their wedding. They rejected the offer, said to have liked to keep their moment at home, away from the public, and did so based on Virat Kohli’s and Anushka Sharma’s advice to not make their special day a commercial affair and make the event a strictly private event for just the family.
On-Screen Reunion
Officially, their wedding is "unconfirmed," says their respective teams; however, both professionally they have set in stone the reunion. The pair of them are set to share the big screen again in director Rahul Sankrityan’s next movie Ranabali — the first time they have worked together since the hit films Geetha Govindam and Dear Comrade.
For now, her silence is Rashmika’s loudest response for the millions waiting for the official ”Wedding” announcement, as Rashmika’s busy lives for Chhaava and The Girlfriend continue.
