Reports claim that star couple Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda are all set to tie the knot in February this year. With a bumpy year for both of them, with several big projects and more coming in 2026, as well as a reported engagement a few months ago, they’re primed for another prosperous New Year. However, the two decided to vacation abroad with their friends in the last few days of 2025. Previously, The Girlfriend star shared photos from his Rome stay, and now the Kingdom actor has said goodbye to the past year with a sweet cameo from his lady love and a back hug that’s what love stories are all about.
Vijay Deverakonda’s New Year was full of romance, don’t miss Rashmika Mandanna’s cameo
On January 1, 2026, Vijay Deverakonda shared an Instagram dump of his ongoing trip to Rome, and fans immediately noticed Rashmika Mandanna making a secret appearance. All six photos appear to have some sign of their beloved, matching a photo taken during the train ride leading up to the race. A similar picture was shared on the social media of the actress two days ago, in which her boyfriend was presumably holding a bouquet of flowers.
However, the happiest moment came in the fifth photo when the actor and his friends were captured in a candid moment laughing. It appears to be a cropped version of their couple photo, with both the actors looking warmly into the lens. The following photo shows a hug from behind with gloved hands, which appears to be the same hands the actress has in her post. While her face was hidden, her long hair was peeking out from behind her back.
See the post below.
A few days ago, the same group of friends was seen in the actress’ post, which was titled ‘Rome till now.’ More signs at the same location, photographed from different angles, were spotted by fans as the photos became a topic of discussion among fans on social media.
