‘I asked him for an entire year to marry me’: Rashmika Mandanna on Vijay Deverakonda’s proposal

Rashmika Mandanna reveals she spent a year asking Vijay Deverakonda to marry her, while the couple’s first appearance on ‘Koffee With Karan’ as newlyweds promises candid confessions and playful banter.

Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna are bringing their love story to the ‘Koffee With Karan’ couch, and their latest confession suggests that getting married was not quite a conventional affair. The couple, who are making their debut on the popular chat show as a married pair, feature in the promo for Season 9’s second episode, teasing everything from relationship revelations to cheeky exchanges.

In the promo, Rashmika opens up about how long she wanted to marry Vijay, revealing that she had been asking him to take the plunge for an entire year. Vijay, meanwhile, shares a rather unusual detail about the process, saying he made her ask him 100 times before they eventually tied the knot earlier this year. Their exchange offers a glimpse into the playful dynamic behind their relationship.

The couple's banter continues when host Karan Johar asks Vijay about his best on-screen chemistry apart from Rashmika. Before he can offer an answer, Rashmika jumps in to insist that there is nobody else. Vijay appears to agree, adding, “Always agree with your wife.”

Rashmika also finds herself choosing between two of her co-stars, Ranbir Kapoor and Allu Arjun, during the Rapid Fire round. She picks Allu Arjun, giving viewers another glimpse of the candid conversations in store.

The promo takes a playful turn during a gaming segment, when Vijay calls ‘Raaka’ star Allu Arjun and gets him to deliver the line, “Karan, it’s me.” The moment adds another layer of entertainment to an episode that promises to move between the couple’s personal lives and their film careers.

Following Salman Khan’s appearance in the season premiere, Vijay and Rashmika are set to bring a different energy to the show, with their newlywed status adding another dimension to their on-screen chemistry. Their episode will also touch on their experiences with criticism and their journeys in cinema.

The new episode of ‘Koffee With Karan’ Season 9 will stream on JioHotstar on Wednesday at 7 pm.
