'Will take a bullet for him...': Rashmika Mandanna confesses about her idea of love amid wedding rumours with Vijay Deverakonda

Rashmika Mandanna, who is busy promoting her upcoming film The Girlfriend, recently attended an Honest Townhall event where she got candid about her idea of love and what she looks for in a life partner. Her heartfelt response instantly went viral, sparking conversations online — especially with the ongoing buzz about her wedding to actor Vijay Deverakonda. Fans couldn’t help but draw connections between her words and her rumoured real-life love story.

During the event, Rashmika shared that her ideal partner is someone who truly understands life and situations deeply, not just in a superficial way. She described her type as a person who is open-minded, genuinely kind, and willing to stand by her through thick and thin. She added that she wants someone who would fight a battle with her or for her if needed — someone she’d take a bullet for without hesitation.

The conversation turned playful when Rashmika was asked who she would kill, marry, or date among all the actors she’s worked with. Her witty response — choosing to date Naruto, the anime character, and marry Vijay Deverakonda, only added more fuel to the ongoing wedding speculation.

Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda's wedding

The much-loved pair has been making headlines ever since reports of their engagement surfaced. In October 2025, Vijay Deverakonda’s team confirmed to Hindustan Times that the couple had exchanged rings in a private ceremony in Hyderabad, attended only by close family and friends. Since then, fans have been eagerly awaiting wedding updates. Meanwhile, rumour mills are strife with the news that the couple is planning a royal wedding in Udaipur on February 26, 2026. However, neither Rashmika nor Vijay has officially confirmed the date.

On the work front, Rashmika has been on a roll with recent films like Chhaava, Sikandar, Kuberaa, and Thamma. Her latest release, The Girlfriend, hit theatres on November 7, 2025. She’s also gearing up for her next projects — Cocktail 2 and Mysaa.
