Actress Rashmika Mandanna has responded to the criticism surrounding her relationship with husband Vijay Deverakonda after their conversation about marriage on Koffee With Karan Season 9 sparked debate on social media.
The controversy began when Rashmika Mandanna revealed that she had brought up the topic of marriage while she and Vijay were at an airport. According to her, Vijay jokingly told her to ask him 100 times before he would agree. She also explained that their marriage decision took time, as they wanted to understand each other better before taking the next step.

The revelation led to mixed reactions online. While some people criticised Vijay for making Rashmika wait, others questioned their relationship. Rashmika Mandanna has now addressed the criticism, explaining that people have misunderstood their conversation.
The actress clarified that their relationship was never about a grand marriage proposal, getting down on one knee or exchanging rings. Instead, it was about making sure they were both ready to spend their lives together. She explained that she tends to follow her heart, while Vijay prefers to think things through before making important decisions. According to her, their different personalities complement each other.
Rashmika Mandanna also hit back at people questioning her love for Vijay. She made it clear that she was deeply in love with her husband and did not understand why her feelings had become a topic of public debate. Describing Vijay as her lifelong companion, she said he was her best friend and the person with whom she wanted to share life’s important moments, raise a family and grow old. She added that she would choose him repeatedly, even if it meant asking him to marry her a thousand times.

Rashmika Mandanna also responded to women making social media videos advising her to leave Vijay. While acknowledging their concern, she said they did not know what she had experienced in her personal life or how Vijay had supported her during difficult times. Rashmika said Vijay had stood by her when she needed him and continued to give her love, comfort and encouragement. She added that she was happier than ever and did not want outsiders to judge their relationship based on online speculation or edited videos.
Rashmika Mandanna also defended her family against criticism and said that attacking people without knowing their circumstances was a form of bullying. According to her, feminism should mean allowing women to make their own decisions rather than telling them how to live their lives. Concluding her response, Rashmika said everyone was entitled to their own views on love and marriage but they should not impose their expectations on others. She expressed hope that people would find relationships in which love and affection were equally shared.

Vijay also responded to the criticism on social media, expressing his happiness with Rashmika and describing her as his best friend and wife. He defended their relationship and made it clear that public opinion would not determine their personal choices.
The couple’s response highlights their stand that their relationship is based on mutual understanding and their decision to choose each other, regardless of online criticism.
