Vijay Deverakonda Says He Wants to Marry Rashmika Mandanna
On Koffee With Karan 9, Vijay Deverakonda talks about how Rashmika Mandanna changed his ambition-first view of love into a need for companionship.
Vijay Deverakonda has built a career on playing characters who say what they feel, but his latest comments on Koffee With Karan 9 go further than a film. The actor explained how Rashmika Mandanna changed his thinking on love, and why that shift has him talking about marriage.
For years, he said, ambition shaped his private life. Anything that didn’t serve career, money or growth seemed like a distraction, and love was not exempt. He described his old interviews as carrying “a sense of disrespect and disbelief” about the whole idea.
What changed in his own words
- Love stopped being a distraction from career and growth.
- Fondness for Rashmika became a daily need, not just affection.
- Marriage became a decision to test, not an emotional impulse.
From ‘career first’ to needing her
That lens changed as his fondness for Rashmika grew. The feeling stopped being about logic or long-term planning, he explained, and became about ordinary days. His day felt better with her around. Meals felt better when shared. Sleep came easier.
“I was like, I need her,” he said. “I need her around me because my day needs better.” That feeling, he added, led to the next step: “I realized that I want to be married to this woman.”
Marriage as a test, not a mood
Vijay also framed the decision as deliberate. When Rashmika asked him “Let’s get married,” he said he did not want to say yes in a rush of emotion. He wanted to know that the desire stayed through happy stretches, rough patches, days when work wanted everything and days when he thought of leaving acting.
Only if marriage still felt important after all of that would it be the right call for him.
Why this lands for fans
Vijay and Rashmika are among the most watched real-life pairs in Indian entertainment. Their public sightings and milestones regularly drive conversation, and Koffee With Karan has long been the couch where guarded stars finally speak. This interview gives fans an answer that doesn’t rely on rumour.
That framing is what makes his comments stick. Instead of announcing a date or confirming a rumour, he gave a clear look at how a relationship moves from attraction to decision. It’s a small masterclass in not confusing a feeling for a commitment.
