Vijay Deverakonda on marriage plans : It would be fulfilling to be married and have your kids — THROWBACK
Vijay Deverakonda undoubtedly remains one of the most eligible bachelors of Telugu cinema, with fans quite excited about his future wedding. Moreover, the actor has been strongly linked with his Dear Comrade co-star Rashmika Mandanna, and netizens almost believe that the two are dating.
Amid all of it, let's revisit one of the actor's older interviews where he revealed his honest take on getting married and entering a new phase of life.
Vijay Deverakonda on sobering down before marriage
Previously, in an interview with India Today, Vijay Deverakonda explained that while he looks forward to getting married and having a family of his own someday, he still feels the need to have enough mental maturity to grow up and sober down before that.
He added that, interestingly, his parents were not pressuring him to get married, but they do want him to settle down soon.
The Kingdom actor said, 'My parents aren't bugging me, and they let me be. But, recently, they have been subtly hinting at marriage. I would love family life. It would be fulfilling to be married and have your kids. There will be a time I will do that. But I need more mental maturity to do that. I need to grow up and sober down.'
Vijay claimed marriage cannot be taken for granted
The actor then mentioned that he still feels like a kid and doesn't feel answerable to anyone, a fact that he must change if he ever wishes to get married.
Nonetheless, Vijay highlighted that he does not want to take things for granted in marriage and especially toward his future partner, and so is happily buying some time before taking the giant leap of faith.
What are the qualities Vijay Deverakonda looks for in his future partner?
Moving on, Vijay Deverakonda went on to reveal the kind of qualities he looks for in his future partner someday.
The actor admitted saying, 'I want someone who is kind, funny, and someone who you can chill with. If you're ever in lockdown, you shouldn't be frustrated with them. That's the first rule. It should feel like a holiday, and she needs to tick that box.'
Vijay-Rashmika's relationship murmurs
Lately, rumors are rife that Vijay Deverakonda is dating Rashmika Mandanna. The duo is often spotted hanging out together, and more recently, they were even seen traveling in the same car. However, neither of them has ever accepted or denied any of the buzz.

Kriti Sanon Joins Dhanush For Raanjhanaa Screening; Sonam Kapoor Gives It A Miss
Last Updated: Kriti Sanon attended Raanjhanaa's fan screening with Dhanush and Aanand L Rai; Sonam Kapoor was absent. As Aanand L Rai's Raanjhanaa approaches its 12th anniversary on June 21, 2025, the film continues to resonate deeply with audiences. A special fan screening of the 2013 romantic classic was held in Mumbai ahead of the milestone, and it turned into a nostalgic evening for movie lovers. Dhanush, who played the iconic Kundan Shankar, arrived at the event along with director Aanand L Rai and actor Kriti Sanon, who will be seen next with Dhanush in Rai's upcoming project Tere Ishk Mein. Notably, Sonam Kapoor, the original film's lead actress, was missing from the celebration. On the red carpet, Kriti Sanon looked striking in a scalloped wine-hued cut-out bodice paired with a flowy coral-orange skirt. Her open hair, soft makeup, and confident aura completed the look—elegant and playful, much like her onscreen presence. Dhanush, on the other hand, opted for an effortlessly sharp black suit with a matching tee and layered necklaces. His sleeves were rolled up, adding a hint of casual charm to his tailored look. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Viral Bhayani (@viralbhayani) View this post on Instagram A post shared by Snehkumar Zala (@snehzala) Speaking about Raanjhanaa, Dhanush had once shared, 'Aanand Rai did not choose me for Kolaveri Di, but for my National Award-winning film Aadukalam. Frankly speaking, I did not have to go through any rigid preparation for the role." Reflecting on his Hindi dialogues, the actor recalled the challenge of dubbing all his lines, 'It was tough but the writer Hemanshu and editor Hemal guided me all through the pauses and punches." He also credited Sonam Kapoor for supporting him during filming, adding, 'She helped me understand so many things… it must have been difficult for her to act with me." Director Aanand L Rai has always believed Dhanush was the perfect choice. 'I needed someone who could look vulnerable on screen. When I saw Aadukalam, I liked him immediately—he looked honest and ordinary, which was the demand of the character," he had told India Today. Raanjhanaa was re-released in theatres on February 28, 2025, rekindling love for its music and storytelling. Rai noted, 'It's fantastic that people still listen to Raanjhanaa's music and shower the same kind of love. It's a film very close to my heart." First Published:
