Rashmika Mandanna Gets Roses From Her “Paapalu” Amid Dating Rumors with Vijay Deverakonda

Rashmika Mandanna, fresh off the success of Chhaava, has once again sparked dating rumors with Vijay Deverakonda. On February 17, the actress posted a cryptic Instagram story showing a beautiful bouquet of red roses, with a sweet note reading, “You always know how to put a smile on my face, paapalu” (red heart emoji). She didn’t reveal the sender’s identity.

Rashmika and Vijay have long been rumored to be dating, but neither has publicly confirmed the relationship. Despite this, they continue to share subtle messages for each other. Just days before, Rashmika showed her support for Vijay’s upcoming film Kingdom, sharing the teaser poster with a message, “This man always… Always comes up with something mental!”

In a past interview, Rashmika hinted at having a “partner,” emphasizing how important her personal life is. She shared, “I’m just a daughter, a sister, just a partner,” expressing her desire to protect that aspect of her life.

Rashmika and Vijay previously starred together in Geetha Govindam (2018) and Dear Comrade (2019). On the work front, Rashmika’s Chhaava, a historical epic, hit theaters on February 14, with Vicky Kaushal playing the role of Maratha warrior Sambhaji Maharaj.
