Rashmika's Diwali post connection with Vijay Deverakonda:

The stairs on which Rashmika posed are from Vijay Deverakonda's Hyderabad house. The 'Kushi' actor had previously shared pictures of himself from the very same spot.

Take a look:

Time and again, Vijay and Rashmika have been rumoured to be in a relationship. However, they have never addressed the same.

When Ranbir Kapoor hinted at Rashmika dating Vijay:

During the promotions of 'Animal' last year, Rashmika's co-star Ranbir Kapoor seemingly confirmed the news of Rashmika and Vijay's relationship during the 'Unstoppable with NBK' show. On Nandamuri Balakrishna's 'Unstoppable With NBK,' the veteran actor asked director Sandeep Reddy Vanga and Rashmika to choose a film between 'Animal' and 'Arjun Reddy,' with the latter starring Vijay Deverakonda in the titular role. Ranbir teased her by asking Rashmika to pick who is a better actor between him and her 'real hero,' Vijay.

Nandamuri Balakrishna then asked Sandeep to call Vijay. That's when Ranbir playfully said, 'Sir, let Rashmika call, Vijay won't pick his (Sandeep's) call.' However, Vijay didn't answer any of their calls. Later, he dialed Sandeep, and then he handed it over to Rashmika. Vijay asked her, 'What's up, re?' She warned him that the call had been put on speaker.

Later in the episode, Rashmika revealed 'Arjun Reddy' was one of the first films she watched after moving to Hyderabad. Ranbir then shared that Sandeep met Rashmika at the success party of the film on Vijay's terrace for the first time. She blushed and said, 'It's not necessary to give all this information.'

For the unversed, The pair first appeared in the movie 'Geetha Govindam' (2018), written and directed by Parasuram, and fans adored their on-screen chemistry. On the work front, Rashmika was most recently seen in Sandeep Reddy Vanga's ‘Animal,' while Vijay was last seen in ‘Khushi.'
