Rashmika Mandanna, long rumoured to be dating Vijay Deverakonda, has never confirmed the speculation. However, in a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter India, she opened up about the qualities she admires in a man. The actor revealed that she is in a relationship—without naming Vijay.
Rashmika Mandanna talks about personal life
Describing her happy place, Rashmika Mandanna said, "Home is my happy place. It makes me feel anchored, makes me feel rooted, makes me feel like success can come and go, but it’s not a forever. But home is forever. So, I work from that space. As much as the love and this fame and the visibility that I get, I still am just a daughter, just a sister, just a partner. I really respect that life, that personal life that I have. Right now, I am living in the best of both worlds, but I am someone who will guard this personal life with my own life. "
When asked about the qualities she finds attractive in a man, Rashmika responded,"They say eyes are the window to one’s soul. I think I believe in that, and I keep smiling, so I am drawn to people who have a smiley face. And, of course, someone who respects people around them no matter who they are."
In a previous interview with Curly Tales, Vijay admitted to being in a relationship, saying, "I am 35 years old; you think I will be single?" He emphasized that he would reveal details about his love life only when the time felt right and not due to external pressure.
Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda are often seen together. Last year, she celebrated Diwali with Vijay’s family and was also spotted watching ‘Pushpa 2: The Rule’ with them.
