Vijay Deverakonda Opens Up About Married Life With Rashmika Mandanna: ‘She Has Brought Celebrations Into My Life’
Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna have entered a new phase of their lives after getting married earlier this year. The popular Telugu film stars, who have also become one of the most closely followed celebrity couples, are now preparing for their first on-screen collaboration after marriage in Ranabaali.
During a recent promotional interaction for the film, Vijay spoke openly about his personal life and the changes he has experienced since getting married. His comments offered a glimpse into how he views family, celebrations and his life away from the camera.
Vijay Deverakonda Says Married Life Has Made Him Happy
Vijay spoke emotionally about his life after marriage and described his family and wife as an important source of happiness. He said that having his family, Rashmika and a fulfilling married life feels like a blessing.
The actor's comments come at a significant moment because his personal and professional worlds are currently closely connected. He and Rashmika are promoting Ranabaali, their first film together following their February 2026 wedding.
Their marriage took place in Udaipur on February 26, 2026, with ceremonies reflecting both Telugu and Kodava traditions. The couple later continued their celebrations in Telangana and Hyderabad.
Rashmika Believes Small Celebrations Matter
The conversation also focused on whether the couple celebrates monthly wedding anniversaries.
Rashmika explained that Vijay is not particularly inclined toward celebrating every monthly milestone, while she has a different perspective. For her, celebrations have value because life is uncertain and people should make time to appreciate meaningful moments.
Her view was not limited to wedding anniversaries. She suggested that birthdays and other occasions, whether large or small, can be opportunities to celebrate life. Even a simple gesture such as cutting a cake can make an occasion memorable.
This difference in personality made the conversation interesting. Rather than presenting marriage as changing everything about their personalities, the discussion showed that the two may approach everyday moments differently.
Vijay Says Rashmika Has Added More Celebration To His Life
Responding to Rashmika's comments, Vijay acknowledged that she has introduced more of a celebratory spirit into his life.
He also spoke about enjoying holidays and taking time away from his usual routine. At the same time, Vijay described his own approach to life as demanding, saying that he generally views each day as something that requires effort and hard work.
That contrast is perhaps one of the most revealing parts of the conversation. Vijay's comments suggest that his professional mindset remains strongly connected to discipline and work, while his married life has encouraged him to make more space for leisure and shared experiences.
Their First Film Together After Marriage
The conversation took place while the couple was promoting Ranabaali, directed by Rahul Sankrityan. The period action drama is scheduled for a worldwide release on October 16, 2026.
The film has naturally attracted additional attention because Vijay and Rashmika are appearing together after becoming husband and wife. Their earlier collaborations, including Geetha Govindam and Dear Comrade, had already made their on-screen pairing familiar to Telugu cinema audiences.
The new film therefore carries a different context. The actors are now promoting a project together after beginning a new chapter in their personal lives.
Vijay Talks About His Experience During Ranabaali
During the same interaction, Vijay also recalled the demanding conditions involved in filming Ranabaali.
He described how the production required the team to adapt physically for certain sequences. According to his account, there were periods when he followed a restricted routine while filming scenes intended to capture the atmosphere of the story.
His comments highlight the physical demands that can accompany period films, particularly when actors and filmmakers are trying to create a specific environment on screen.
The Actor's Focus Is Not Just On Opening Numbers
Another notable point from Vijay's interaction was his perspective on the film's release.
While he acknowledged that strong opening numbers would be positive for the movie, he emphasized that he wants audiences to connect with the world and story of Ranabaali. In other words, the actor's stated priority is not simply the first-day box-office figure but the audience's experience of the film.
That approach is particularly relevant for a movie with a period setting and a distinctive narrative world. Audience response will ultimately depend on how effectively the film communicates its story, characters and atmosphere.
Rashmika and Vijay's New Chapter
Vijay and Rashmika's wedding earlier this year marked the beginning of a new chapter for two actors who have spent years working in the Indian film industry. Their wedding celebrations incorporated traditions connected to both families, while later events brought them closer to their fans and the wider film community.
Now, their professional journey is moving forward alongside their personal lives.
Vijay's latest comments show that marriage has given him another perspective on everyday life. While he continues to emphasize work and ambition, he also appears to be appreciating the importance of family, holidays and celebrations.
For Rashmika, celebrating small moments appears to be an important part of enjoying life. Their contrasting views make their recent promotional conversations more personal than a routine film interview.
With Ranabaali approaching its October 16 release, audiences will be watching not only for the film itself but also for the first major on-screen appearance of Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna after their marriage. Their latest comments suggest that while cinema remains central to their professional lives, family and shared experiences have become an important part of their lives away from the screen as well.
