Vijay Deverakonda: Rashmika Says I Love You 10-15 Times a Day
Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna open up on love, daily affection and the small effort that keeps their marriage off autopilot.
A marriage, Vijay Deverakonda suggests, is not something you can set on autopilot. In a new podcast conversation with Prakhar Gupta, the actor shared a small but telling detail about life with Rashmika Mandanna: she tells him ‘I love you’ at least 10-15 times a day.
The number caught attention quickly because it is so specific. For a couple who has kept much of their relationship private, it is a rare window into their everyday rhythm.
The confession arrived as the couple discussed how love changes over time. Vijay described Rashmika as clear-eyed about relationships. He added that she reminds him to keep expressing feelings, even when he assumes she already knows.
She makes sure she tells me ‘I love you’ at least 10-15 times a day, Vijay said.
Why the small words count
Rashmika’s argument is simple but sharp. Long relationships often lose their most basic rituals. People stop saying good morning, stop asking how is your day, and eventually notice the silence. She told the podcast that love should not require one person to constantly drive the relationship, but neither should the small efforts disappear.
I still feel like those little efforts should be made for each other. And that is love, she said.
That is the balance she describes: a relationship should feel natural, but continuing to make small, deliberate gestures is its own form of care.
Vijay’s take: no room for autopilot
Vijay admitted he could have drifted. He said he could have gone on autopilot for four-to-five years without noticing. Rashmika, he explained, is the one who made him aware of those smaller, simpler but important things.
The actor’s candour matters because it reframes love as something maintained, not just felt. It is a candid look at how the couple, who married in February 2026, keeps their bond top of mind. For fans who have followed them since Geetha Govindam and Dear Comrade, it also helps explain why their connection feels unusually steady.
What this means for our readers
This is not just celebrity talk. It gives the audience a framework for their own relationships:
- Keep the basics alive: good morning, how was your day, I love you.
- Avoid the assumption trap: do not assume a partner already knows.
- Make effort a habit, not a response to crisis: daily consistency beats occasional grand gestures.
That is the takeaway our readers can carry into their own lives, not just into their feeds.
Next up: Ranabaali
The timing matters. Ranabaali, the period drama starring Vijay and Rashmika alongside Arnold Vosloo and other Indian and international actors, is their third film together. It will also be their first on-screen appearance since their marriage.
Their personal story and their professional reunion are now arriving together, which is part of why this podcast moment has landed so warmly.
