The couple will share the story on the second episode of Koffee with Karan Season 9, which premieres on JioHotstar on Wednesday, October 21. Actor Vijay Deverakonda wanted Rashmika Mandanna to have a proposal story she could look back on, even if romance and grand gestures were not quite his style. The actor recently opened up about the thought behind his proposal to Rashmika and why he ended up asking her to marry him twice.
Meanwhile, Ranabaali brought Vijay and Rashmika together on screen once again, this time in a period action drama directed by Rahul Sankrityan. Vijay plays the titular character, while Rashmika stars as his wife, Jayamma. Set in the 1800s Madras Presidency, the story explores the devastating impact of British colonial rule, focusing on a man-made famine that was allegedly engineered to help Britain obtain more grain from India.
Released in theatres on October 16, 2026, the film marked their first on-screen pairing since their wedding.
It was not the engagement ring, and they revealed their actual rings during the show. Because i am not that kind, before our marriage in February, so in December when we were in Italy, I felt like I didn’t want her to not have a proposal story just. I wanted to do it in Italy but couldn’t find the right ring. The couple also put an end to speculation about the ring Vijay had given Rashmika before their wedding. After the sangeet I asked all my friends to come and I wanted to be around our friends where I went down on one knee and proposed to her. I didn’t want to take that moment away from her.”
Explaining what was going through his mind, Vijay said, “I didn’t want Rashmika not to have one. Sharing why he chose that moment, Vijay said, “I proposed to her on the first day of our wedding in Udaipur which was the sangeet night.
