Rashmika Mandanna: ‘Nee Yabba.. Nuvvu Na Familyra’.. Rashmika Clarifies!

In the film industry, Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna are recognized as a pair. They have co-starred in movies like “Geetha Govindam” and “Dear Comrade,” and quickly formed a strong friendship. Nonetheless, there have been persistent rumors suggesting their relationship might extend beyond mere friendship. Various media reports have even claimed that Vijay and Rashmika are romantically involved. Despite their repeated assurances that they are merely friends, these rumors persist. Recently, however, remarks made by Rashmika Mandanna have hinted that there could indeed be more to their relationship.

‘Nee Yabba.. Nuvvu Na Familyra’

Anand Deverakonda, the brother of Vijay Deverakonda, played a lead role in ‘Gum Gum Ganesha’. Rashmika Mandanna was the chief guest at the movie’s pre-release event. During the event, Anand posed several questions to Rashmika. He displayed photos of her recent posts featuring her pet dog alongside Vijay’s pet. When asked about her favorite, Rashmika stated that Ara (her pet dog) was her first baby, and Smart (Vijay’s pet dog) her second baby. Subsequently, Anand inquired about her favorite co-star, leading Rashmika to playfully rebuke him with a “Nee Yabba”, briefly setting the microphone aside, then resuming to ask, “Anand, aren’t you my family? How can you put me on the spot like this?” The crowd erupted into laughter and cheers. The fans soon began chanting “Rowdy, Rowdy Star”, prompting Rashmika to declare Vijay as her favorite, which made their exchange a viral sensation on the internet.

Clarity Finally Given?

Rashmika’s recent remarks have thrilled Vijay Deverakonda’s fans, who feel they’ve finally gotten some clarity about her relationship with their idol. Her statement that “we are a family” alongside Anand Devarakonda has been interpreted as a hint of her romantic ties with Vijay. Earlier, separate social media posts by Vijay and Rashmika from the same location sparked rumors of them dating, leaving the actual status of their relationship ambiguous and frustrating fans of both stars. Now, supporters from both camps are expressing their joy online, satisfied with the new information. They are commenting that Vijay and Rashmika not only make a great pair on screen but also appear to be a perfect match in real life.

Mental Character Needed: Rashmika

Director Sai Rajesh, who delivered a big hit with ‘Baby‘ starring Anand Deverakonda, also attended the event. Speaking about him, Rashmika said, “I have seen the movie ‘Baby’. After watching it, I felt the urge to work with you. Making such a movie is not easy. I know your hard work and dedication. I cried the first time I watched ‘Baby’. After seeing the movie as an actress, I felt like I had to do at least one mental character under your direction.” This video is also going viral on social media now.
