Love and Drama: A Whirlwind of Confirmations and Confrontations
In a surprising turn of events, Vijay Deverakonda's team has officially confirmed his engagement to Rashmika Mandanna, putting an end to years of speculation and sending fans into a frenzy. Meanwhile, on the reality TV front, Salman Khan is seen schooling Kunickaa Sadanand and slamming Ashnoor Kaur in the latest promo of Bigg Boss 19.
After years of dodging questions and fueling dating rumors, the engagement of Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna has been confirmed by Vijay's team. The couple, who have been reportedly dating since 2018 after starring together in Geetha Govindam, are said to have exchanged rings in a private ceremony in Hyderabad on October 3rd. The intimate affair was attended by close family members, but no official photos have been released yet. While neither Rashmika nor Vijay has made a personal announcement on social media, the confirmation has been met with widespread celebration online.
Speculation about their relationship began after their successful on-screen collaborations in Geetha Govindam (2018) and Dear Comrade (2019), after which they were often spotted together at public events and private gatherings. Eagle-eyed fans also noticed the two frequently shared pictures from similar vacation spots, further adding to the buzz that they were more than just co-stars. Although both Rashmika and Vijay had previously admitted in 2024 that they were not single, they refrained from naming their partners at the time. The wedding is reportedly slated for February 2026.
In other news, the Bigg Boss 19 house is heating up, with Salman Khan returning for Weekend Ka Vaar in a not-so-cheerful mood. The latest promo shows Khan confronting several contestants, including Ashnoor Kaur and Kunickaa Sadanand. Khan is seen slamming Ashnoor for her arrogance and questioning her behavior towards Bigg Boss, asking if she would speak to her "bade papa" (father figure) in the same way. He also accuses her of ordering Bigg Boss around and says that she would be embarrassed if she saw the footage of her behavior.
Adding to the drama, Salman Khan also schools Kunickaa, stating that she is responsible for the fight between Amaal Mallik and Abhishek Bajaj during the captaincy task. He rebukes her for repeatedly making mistakes and advises her to "get some maturity back". The promo suggests a fiery episode ahead, with Salman Khan taking charge and addressing the conflicts within the Bigg Boss 19 house.
