Watch: Here's what Vijay Deverakonda said about rumoured girlfriend Rashmika Mandanna that left her blushing

Vijay Deverakonda, who is rumoured to be dating Rashmika Mandanna, recently attended the pre-release music event of her film 'Sita Ramam' which also stars Dulquer Salmaan and Mrunal Thakur.

After the makers released a promo, Vijay took to the stage and said, “Rashmika, you always look so pretty and beautiful so… Everyone is giggling as soon as I mention your name, I don’t know why," which left the actress blushing.

Earlier, Vijay, who appeared on 'Koffee with Karan 7', opened up about his bond with Rashmika.

The actor said, "We have done 2 films together and she is a darling. I'm very fond of her. She is a very good friend of mine and we share so much through films like lots of highs and lots of lows. A bond gets created. In films, you are put into close proximity very quickly and so a bond develops quicker."

Talking about his relationship status, the 'Arjun Reddy' star said, "I have a very good relationship with my parents, director Puri."

When Karan asks Vijay about his current relationship, the actor said, "The day I will marry and have kids, I will say it out loud until then I would not like to hurt anyone who adores me."

"There are so many people who love you as an actor and have your poster on their wall, on their phones. They give me so much love and appreciation, I don't want to break their heart", he added.

Meanwhile, on the film front, Vijay will be seen as a boxer in 'Liger', which is helmed by Puri Jagannadh and produced by Karan Johar.

The film marks Vijay's debut in Hindi cinema and the 'Khaali Peeli' actor's first multi-lingual film. The film is all set to hit theatres on August 25, 2022, after multiple delays due to COVID-19. It will be released in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam.
