Actors Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna are once again winning hearts online after a sweet moment between the newly married couple went viral on social media. The duo, who tied the knot earlier this year, were recently spotted together at the airport, but it was Vijay’s necklace pendant that grabbed everyone’s attention.
In a video shared by paparazzi accounts online, Vijay and Rashmika were seen exiting the airport together before heading towards their car. Vijay kept his look casual in a beige T-shirt and dark trousers, while Rashmika looked effortlessly stylish beside him. However, eagle-eyed fans quickly noticed the actor wearing a chain with a pendant featuring the letter “R,” which many believe stands for Rashmika.
The gesture immediately sparked excitement among fans, with social media users flooding the comment section with adorable reactions. Many fans called the pendant Vijay’s version of a “mangalsutra,” while others described the couple as “made for each other.”
One fan jokingly commented that the pendant had a “dual purpose” because Vijay’s upcoming film is also titled Ranabaali. Another user simply wrote, “R for Rashmika,” while several fans praised the actor for subtly showing love and affection for his wife.
Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna’s love story has remained one of the most talked-about celebrity relationships in recent years. The two first met while working on the blockbuster romantic drama Geetha Govindam, where their chemistry became hugely popular among audiences. They later reunited for Dear Comrade, further strengthening their fan-favourite pairing.
For years, rumours about their relationship dominated social media and entertainment headlines. Although both actors avoided publicly confirming their romance, fans often spotted clues through shared vacation pictures, similar locations, and public appearances together.
Last year, the couple officially confirmed their relationship by announcing their engagement on social media. Vijay and Rashmika eventually got married on February 26 in a grand yet intimate wedding ceremony in Udaipur. Their dreamy wedding pictures quickly went viral online, with fans celebrating the union of one of South cinema’s most loved couples.
Following the wedding, the duo also hosted a lavish reception in Hyderabad attended by several major film stars, including Ram Charan, Nani, Karan Johar, Kriti Sanon, and Allu Arjun.
The couple is now set to reunite on screen with ‘Ranabaali’, marking their third collaboration after ‘Geetha Govindam’ and ‘Dear Comrade’, and their first film together after marriage. Directed by Rahul Sankrityan, the film is reportedly set between 1854 and 1878 and is inspired by real historical incidents that were allegedly omitted from mainstream history books.
According to the makers, ‘Ranabaali’ is designed as a cinematic reconstruction of forgotten historical events based on oral histories and real accounts. The film is currently scheduled to release in theatres on September 11.
Meanwhile, Vijay’s pendant moment has become one of the internet’s favourite celebrity moments, with fans continuing to gush over the actor’s subtle romantic gesture toward Rashmika.
