Is Vijay Deverakonda’s Ring at Puttaparthi Ashram Hinting at an Engagement? Fans Speculate About Rashmika Connection

A fresh wave of speculation is sweeping through Tollywood fan circles and social media, as actor Vijay Deverakonda was recently spotted wearing a ring on his left hand during a visit to the Sri Sathya Sai Baba Ashram in Puttaparthi on Sunday, 5 October. The sighting has reignited engagement rumours between him and actress Rashmika Mandanna, with fans wondering, is that a ring of commitment?

While there has been no official confirmation from either side, the buzz began after rumours surfaced that Vijay and Rashmika got secretly engaged on Friday, 3 October, in a private ceremony attended by close friends and family at Vijay’s residence in Hyderabad.

Family Visit to Sri Sathya Sai Maha Samadhi

Vijay visited the ashram accompanied by his parents and younger brother, actor Anand Deverakonda. The family was warmly welcomed by the ashram administrators, who greeted them with flower bouquets. Photos and videos from the event are now circulating widely on social media, particularly highlighting Vijay’s left hand, where a ring is clearly visible.

While some fans are calling it “definitive proof” of an engagement, others are asking for caution, noting that no official announcement has been made. Vijay and Anand are alumni of the Sri Sathya Sai Baba Higher Secondary School in Anantapur, which makes the visit a sentimental one for the family.

A Timeline of Rumoured Romance

The on-screen chemistry between Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna first sparked dating rumours after their successful 2018 film Geetha Govindam. Their second collaboration, Dear Comrade (2019), only added fuel to the fire. Over the years, they’ve been spotted together off-screen as well, although both have remained tight-lipped about their relationship.

In 2024, both actors made cryptic social media posts saying “We are no longer single” — yet neither revealed the identity of their partner, leaving fans to connect the dots.

Wedding Bells in 2026?

Adding to the speculation, reports are now suggesting that Vijay and Rashmika may be planning a February 2026 wedding. However, no official statements have been made, and representatives for both actors have not responded to the media frenzy.

The timing of the ring sighting — just days after the rumoured engagement — has only intensified fan theories. Whether this was a religious family visit or a subtle reveal remains to be seen.

Upcoming Projects

The duo is currently working together in VD14, directed by Rahul Sankrityan, and sources say they are keen on wrapping up the shoot before their possible wedding date. Vijay was last seen in Kingdom, and is currently filming SVC59. Meanwhile, Rashmika Mandanna recently featured in the Bollywood film Thama, which is nearing its release.

As the buzz continues, fans are keeping a close eye on their social media for any hints or announcements. Until then, the ring remains a mystery — but the excitement is very real.
