There were many reports suggested that Rashmika and Vijay are in love. Some also blamed their closeness for her break-up with Kannada director actor Rakshit Shetty.
According to an interview with IBtimes, Rashmika had revealed that Vijay Deverakonda is the one who had helped her get over her ex-boyfriend, Rakshit Shetty. She had said, “I was recovering from my breakup with Rakshit Shetty. I needed comfort and care, which I found in Deverakonda. I was struggling to cope up with my emotions, and it was he who lifted my spirits. He was the one who made me understand that there was a different world outside, waiting for me to embrace.”
Rashmika and Vijay have many times denied the rumours of their affair from time to time. In an interview with TOI, Vijay was asked about him finding the love of his life. The actor revealed that he would prefer to keep it a hush-hush and share it with his family and friends only if he is in a relationship.
He further said, “No comments. Even if I was in a relationship, I would keep it a secret. What is the point of telling these things? It is no one’s business. I would tell my parents and my friends too. I will reveal it to the world as well when it happens, but there’s time for it. I don’t want my life to become entertainment.”
