Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda were all smiles as they showered each other with high praise at the success meet of The Girlfriend. The duo, who are rumoured to be engaged, took a moment to acknowledge one another. Vijay Deverakonda was visibly emotional as he expressed how proud he is to see Rashmika's growth as an artist.
What's Happening
- Vijay Deverakonda's kind words for Rashmika Mandanna left the actress teary-eyed.
- Vijay said, "I've seen Rashmika since Geetha Govindam, and she truly is a Bhooma Devi (her character in The Girlfriend). From that point, she has become the woman she is today, choosing to take on a film like this at the peak of her career. I feel so proud."
- He added, "She has faced her share of criticism and bullying. If it were me, I'd react immediately, but Rashmika chooses kindness every single day, no matter what people say. One day, the world will see her for who she truly is. She is an amazing woman."
Kudos To The Girlfriend
Vijay Deverakonda further applauded the sensitive storyline of The Girlfriend with genuine appreciation. The Arjun Reddy actor admitted he had tears in his eyes after watching Rashmika Mandanna's film, as it deeply moved him.
Vijay said, "More than box-office numbers, this film has sparked thought and awareness, inspiring women to speak up. Many commercial hits fail to make this kind of societal impact. Rahul and the producers have achieved something remarkable."
