Following her wedding celebrations with longtime partner Vijay Deverakonda, an old interview of Rashmika Mandanna has resurfaced online — one where she openly discussed maintaining cordial relationships with her former partners.
The couple, who kept their relationship private for several years, recently tied the knot in Udaipur. While fans are celebrating their union, a past candid moment from Rashmika is once again drawing attention.
“Hi” to Exes, Not “Bye”
In an earlier appearance on Mirchi Plus, Rashmika participated in a rapid-fire segment where she had to answer “hi” or “bye” to different life situations.
When asked what she would say if she saw her ex at a party, she responded without hesitation: “Hi.”
Explaining her answer, she said she continues to share friendly bonds with her exes and even interacts with their families.
“I am still friends with my exes. I meet their families — present, past, current, future,” she remarked light-heartedly.
When the host joked that it might not be an ideal trait, Rashmika laughed and acknowledged it, adding that she simply values good relationships.
During the same interaction, when asked about the idea of dating a fan, she described it as “complicated,” though she admitted it could also be fun.
Early Career and Past Relationships
Rashmika made her acting debut in Kirik Party opposite Rakshit Shetty. The two later got engaged in 2017 before mutually ending their engagement the following year.
Around that time, she starred with Vijay Deverakonda in Geetha Govindam, which became a major commercial success. They reunited for Dear Comrade, further fueling speculation about their off-screen chemistry.
Over the years, fans closely followed their social media activity, often linking similar travel pictures and subtle hints.
The Wedding of “VIROSH”
Just days before their wedding, Rashmika and Vijay publicly confirmed their relationship and embraced the fan-created nickname “VIROSH.” In a heartfelt message shared online, they expressed gratitude to fans for naming their bond and announced their celebration as “The Wedding of VIROSH.”
Their festivities reportedly included a playful “VIROSH Premier League,” followed by haldi and mehendi ceremonies. The couple honoured both families by conducting two traditions — a Telugu wedding ceremony for Vijay’s side and a Coorg-style ceremony for Rashmika’s family.
As wedding glimpses continue to circulate, Rashmika’s earlier comments about staying connected with her exes have sparked fresh conversations online, highlighting her candid and unconventional outlook on relationships.
