Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna Discuss Relationships and Affection on Podcast

Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna recently spoke about love, marriage, and relationships during a conversation on Prakhar Gupta's podcast. The couple discussed the importance of making conscious efforts for loved ones and expressing affection even in long-term relationships.

Rashmika Mandanna emphasized that partners must continue making small efforts for each other, noting that basic expressions of affection can sometimes disappear over time. She stated that small gestures remain important regardless of how long two people have been together or if they have kids.

Vijay Deverakonda revealed that Rashmika makes it a point to express her feelings frequently. He shared, "She makes sure she tells me 'I love you' at least 10-15 times a day. And she tells me that it's important that I express. I constantly feel it, but I shouldn't feel like, 'Okay, he knows, and I don't need to say it.'"

The actor credited Rashmika for reminding him to communicate important, simple feelings, noting that she prevented him from going on "autopilot" in life.

The couple stars in the period drama Ranabaali, alongside Arnold Vosloo and other Indian and international actors. The film marks their third collaboration following Geetha Govindam and Dear Comrade, and is their first onscreen appearance following their marriage in February 2026.
