‘Now it’s us three’: Video shared by Rashmika Mandanna keeps fans guessing

Following her high-profile wedding to fellow actor Vijay Deverakonda in Udaipur this February, Rashmika Mandanna has sent the internet into a frenzy with a mysterious social media update. The Pushpa star, who has recently returned to filming after a private honeymoon, shared a whimsical animated video that has left fans questioning if a "junior" member of the family is on the way.

The video features a charming cartoon depiction of Rashmika and Vijay, accompanied by a physical yellow flower. However, it was the accompanying caption—“Now it’s us three”—that truly set tongues wagging. Within minutes, the post was flooded with thousands of comments from curious followers. "Are you going to become a mother soon?" asked one fan, while others speculated whether the "third" member refers to a new addition to their household or perhaps a pet.

Despite the mounting excitement, industry insiders suggest the post might be more metaphorical than literal. The actress tagged her personal digital diary account, “Rashmika RU,” a platform she frequently uses to share creative musings and emotional milestones. Some observers believe the "three" could symbolise the couple and a new creative venture, or perhaps the yellow flower itself, which is often used in her posts to represent joy and new beginnings.

The timing of the post is particularly notable as the couple prepares to reunite on the silver screen. After the blockbuster success of Geetha Govindam and Dear Comrade, the newly-weds are currently filming for the historical drama Ranabaali. Set against the backdrop of 19th-century India, the project marks their first professional collaboration since tying the knot.

While neither Rashmika nor Vijay has officially commented on the pregnancy rumours, the "National Crush" has certainly succeeded in keeping her audience captivated as she balances her new chapter in life with a busy shooting schedule. (With inputs from Agencies)
