South Indian film actress Rashmika Mandanna is currently in the headlines amidst ongoing discussions about her married life. Questions regarding her relationship and marriage to actor Vijay Deverakonda are frequently being raised on social media. In a lengthy social media post, Rashmika has responded to her critics, clarifying that the right to make decisions about her personal life belongs solely to her and Vijay.
The actress stated that people are forming assumptions without knowing the full truth about their relationship. She also expressed her clear displeasure regarding the comments being made about her relationship with Vijay, their decision to marry, and their families.
Why did Vijay take time before marriage?
In her post, Rashmika Mandanna explained that she generally prefers not to respond to public comments, as everyone is entitled to their own opinion. However, given the persistent questions surrounding her relationship with Vijay, she felt it was necessary to share her perspective.
According to the actress, Vijay prefers to consider the practical aspects before making any major life decision. He wanted them to understand each other thoroughly and be prepared for future responsibilities before getting married. Rashmika, on the other hand, believes in making decisions by following her heart.
She clarified that their different approaches to thinking are not a weakness in their relationship, but rather a reflection of their mutual understanding. For them, marriage is less about grand proposals or expensive rings, and more about standing by each other and building a future together.
“I am madly in love with my husband—what is wrong with that?”
Rashmika gave a direct response to the questions raised about her love for Vijay Deverakonda. She stated that she loves her husband deeply and will not shy away from expressing her feelings openly.
According to Rashmika, Vijay is the person with whom she wishes to share all of life’s moments—both big and small. She dreams of building a family with him, raising children together, and staying by his side until the end of their lives.
The actress further stated that if she were given the chance to marry again, she would choose Vijay once more. For her, expressing love for her partner comes naturally, and she does not wish to suppress her feelings simply because of the opinions of others.
‘We are capable of making our own life decisions’
In her post, Rashmika clearly stated that both she and Vijay have built their careers through their own hard work and are fully capable of making their own life decisions. They are under no obligation to offer explanations regarding their personal relationship to strangers.
She questioned how people—who lack complete information about their relationship—feel entitled to comment on it or challenge the decisions they make.
This response from the actress is being viewed as a direct reply to those on social media who have been persistently speculating about her relationship.
Expressing displeasure over social media rumors
Rashmika also expressed her frustration with those who, under the guise of “concern,” advise her to reconsider her relationship. While she values the sentiments of those who genuinely wish her well, she emphasized that it is unfair for people to form judgments about a relationship based solely on viral social media videos or incomplete clips.
The actress shared that Vijay has stood by her during difficult times. Whenever she has needed emotional support, comfort, or a sense of security, Vijay has been there for her. For her, an ideal partner is someone who remains by one’s side during challenging phases and shares equally in moments of joy.
Rashmika affirmed that she is happy and content at this stage of her life. She hopes that people will respect her happiness and stop fabricating stories about her relationship without any basis. Rebuking those who commented on her family
Rashmika Mandanna gave a stern response to those who dragged her family into the controversy. She stated that while she can tolerate remarks made about her personally, it is wrong to target her family members without knowing the facts.
Criticizing those who intrude into others’ private lives in the name of feminism, the actress asserted that targeting a woman’s family is not feminism. According to her, the true essence of feminism lies in granting women the freedom to make their own life choices, rather than questioning those choices.
She emphasized that every individual has the right to live their life in their own way. If someone is happy in their relationship, others should respect their decisions.
Expressing gratitude to her Kannada fans
At the end of her post, Rashmika thanked her Kannada fans for the love and support they have shown her over the past 10 years. She expressed that she feels fortunate that her fans continue to embrace her with the same warmth and appreciate her work.
The actress also wished well to those who do not share her views. Her message was clear: instead of questioning the private lives of others, people should focus on their own happiness and fulfillment.
