Rashmika Mandanna, star of The Girlfriend, is now a wife. The actor, known for her work in Telugu and Hindi films, tied the knot with producer and fellow actor Vijay Deverakonda on Feb. 26 in Udaipur, India. The pair first met on the set of their 2018 rom-com Geetha Govindam and reunited onscreen the following year in Dear Comrade. They reportedly got engaged in October 2025. “The man who taught me what true love feels like,” Mandanna wrote of her new husband in a celebratory post. Deverakonda — the star of movies like Kushi and Kingdom — also celebrated their nuptials on Insta, calling Mandanna his “best friend.”

Mandanna got her start as an actor in the 2016 Kannada rom-com Kirik Party, and also starred in the action flick Anjani Putra and the romantic drama Chamak before her breakout in Geetha Govindam. She went on to co-star in comedies like Sarileru Neekevvaru and Bheeshma, action dramas like Pushpa: The Rise and its sequel, and the horror rom-com Thamma.
