Actors Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda, who often spark dating rumours, were seen enjoying a lunch date. While the duo refrained from sharing photos of their meeting, a picture clicked by an onlooker is now going viral.

Take a look:
While Rashmika and Vijay have never admitted to their relationship, they have always dropped subtle hints. Recently, in an interview with Curly Tales, the Liger actor confirmed that he is in a relationship.
“I am 35 years old; you think I will be single?”, Vijay said. He also said, “I have” when asked if he has ever dated a co-star. The actor emphasised that he likes to build a strong friendship before getting into a romantic relationship, saying, “I don’t go out on dates. I go out only after a long time of knowing someone, after building a friendship.”
Vijay also spoke about unconditional love and his marriage plans. He said, “I know what it feels like to be loved, and I know what it is to love. I don’t know unconditional love because my love comes with expectations, so clearly my love isn’t unconditional. I feel everything is over-romanticised. I don’t even know if it’s okay to expect unconditional love.”
Talking about marriage, he said, “Marriage doesn’t have to come in between someone’s career. Marriage is harder on women. It also depends on the profession you are in.”
On the work front, Rashmika Mandanna will reprise her role as Srivalli in Pushpa: The Rule. The film releases on December 5. As for Vijay Deverakonda, he is shooting for his next film with Gowtam Tinnanuri of Jersey fame, tentatively titled VD 12.
