“I Don’t Get Enough Time With Her”: Vijay Deverakonda Speaks Out Amid Rashmika Mandanna Dating Rumours
The rumour mill in Tollywood and Bollywood has long been abuzz with whispers of a secret romance between heartthrobs Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna. Though neither star has officially confirmed their relationship, their undeniable chemistry on and off screen, frequent vacation sightings, and subtle social media hints have only fueled speculation. And now, Vijay’s recent comments have added fresh fire to the romance gossip — especially when he candidly confessed, “I don’t get enough time with my girlfriend.”
Vijay’s Honest Confession: “I Miss Her Time…”
In a recent interview while promoting his upcoming action-drama, Vijay Deverakonda was asked about balancing stardom with personal life. The actor, usually private about his relationships, gave a surprisingly heartfelt response.
“There are moments when I wish I had more time to just sit and talk to her, away from the chaos. It’s hard to be in a relationship when both of you are running in different directions because of work.”
Though he didn’t take any names, fans were quick to connect the dots — especially since Rashmika Mandanna was recently seen juggling back-to-back shoots in Hyderabad and Mumbai.
A Relationship Written In Reels? Rashmika Mandanna
Vijay and Rashmika first lit up the screen together in ‘Geetha Govindam’ and later in ‘Dear Comrade’, where their crackling chemistry sparked real-life dating rumours. Their off-screen bond only grew deeper, evident from their vacation pictures in Maldives (albeit shared separately), gym selfies, and subtle Instagram interactions.
Though the duo has always referred to each other as “close friends,” their mutual admiration and warmth suggest something more. In fact, Rashmika has often called Vijay her “comfort person” in interviews, while Vijay once said, “She’s someone I really respect and care for deeply.”
Clash Of Busy Schedules
With Vijay currently shooting multiple projects, including his highly anticipated pan-India film, and Rashmika working on big-budget Bollywood and South Indian films, both stars are operating on punishing timelines.
Insiders reveal that even when in the same city, the two rarely find time to meet.
“They try to meet during late night breaks or off days, but it’s difficult. Fame has its costs,” a source close to the duo shared.
This perhaps explains Vijay’s emotional tone during the interview. He added:
“You realise how precious time is when you’re trying to build something meaningful. I just hope we find a better rhythm soon.”
Fans Play Detective Again, Rashmika Mandanna
Following Vijay’s interview, fan pages exploded with theories and romantic edits. The hashtag #ViRash started trending on X (formerly Twitter) once again, with fans calling them “the real reel couple.”
A user wrote:
“He misses her. She calls him her safe space. Why are they still denying it? Just say you’re in love already!”
Another fan said:
“Vijay’s subtle way of saying he’s taken… and we all know who she is ”
What’s Next For ViRash?
While both actors continue to keep their personal lives shielded from the spotlight, industry insiders suggest that they might soon make things official. With families reportedly approving of the bond, some believe a formal announcement might follow once their current film commitments ease.
Moreover, whispers of them possibly reuniting on-screen for another romantic drama are doing the rounds — a project that fans have been eagerly hoping for.
Vijay Deverakonda’s simple yet heartfelt admission — “I don’t get enough time with my girlfriend” — has reignited interest in one of India’s most speculated celebrity romances. Whether or not they choose to go public, one thing is clear: there’s a strong emotional connection at the heart of this rumored relationship.
And as fans wait with bated breath, perhaps it’s only a matter of time before the “just friends” label finally makes way for a more honest truth.
Because when two stars keep finding their way back to each other — even through the glare of cameras and chaos of stardom — the universe might just be scripting a love story bigger than the big screen.
