Vijay Deverakonda’s Diwali celebrations

Vijay posted three videos on Instagram, expressing his love for Diwali. He shared, “Happy Diwali to you all – my people 🙂 Diwali has always been my favorite festival. Sending you all big hugs and all my love.” Two of the videos showcase him, his brother Anand Deverakonda, and their friends sharing laughs and posing for the camera, while firecrackers light up the background. Fans also think they hear Rashmika’s laughter calling his name in one clip, while the third video features his pet dog, Storm, watching rockets go off in the distance.

In response to his post, fans commented, “When will you celebrate Diwali with my sister-in-law?” Another asked, “Where are sister-in-law and mother?” Comments flooded in as some pointed out Rashmika’s voice, with one user saying, “You can hear Rashmika’s voice.” Others speculated, “Is that Rashie’s voice?” Some fans even sent joint wishes, commenting, “Happy Diwali, Rashmika ji and Vijay sir.”

Vijay Deverakonda-Rashmika Mandanna’s love story

Rumors about Vijay and Rashmika dating began circulating when they starred together in the 2018 film *Geetha Govindam*. Their chemistry continued in the 2019 movie *Dear Comrade*, which only fueled the speculation. While they never publicly confirmed their relationship even amid other rumors, Vijay’s team announced earlier this month that the couple is engaged. They plan to marry in February 2026.

Vijay was last seen in *Gowtam Tinnanuri’s Kingdom* and is set to work on a new project with Rahul Sankrithyan. Meanwhile, Rashmika, who recently appeared in *Kuberaa*, has her film *Thamma* releasing today, along with other projects in the pipeline.
