"I want to get married and become a father."
Vijay Deverakonda, the heartthrob of South Indian cinema, has recently shared insights into his marriage plans and aspirations for fatherhood.
During the promotional events for his upcoming Tamil film The Family Star, the actor revealed his intentions of tying the knot and starting a family.
However, he clarified that he intends to remain single for a while longer before taking the plunge into matrimony.
Vijay Deverakonda expressed: “I want to get married and become a father.”
He also confirmed that he will have a love marriage.
Emphasising the significance of his parent’s approval, the actor emphasised that his future partner must be accepted by his family.
This revelation comes amidst persistent rumours surrounding Vijay Deverakonda’s alleged romantic involvement with his co-star Rashmika Mandanna.
The duo, who shared screen space in films like Geetha Govindam and Dear Comrade, have often sparked speculation about their off-screen chemistry.
However, neither Vijay nor Rashmika have publicly addressed these rumours.
In response to inquiries about his romantic relationships, Vijay Deverakonda chose to maintain a diplomatic stance.
He redirected the focus to his familial bonds.
He remarked during a recent interview: “Yes, with my parents, with my brother, with you, and we all are in a relationship.”
Despite the swirling rumours, Vijay and Rashmika have refrained from confirming or denying their alleged relationship.
Their social media interactions, including joint trips to the Maldives, have only fuelled further speculation about their status.
Earlier this year reports suggesting an imminent engagement or wedding between Vijay and Rashmika emerged, particularly following their vacation to the Maldives.
