Rashmika Mandanna is currently on cloud nine after delivering two consecutive hits - Thamma and The Girlfriend. The latter, where she played the lead role, has been praised for her powerful performance, particularly in the emotional climax. Recently, the makers of The Girlfriend organised a grand success celebration in Hyderabad. While Rashmika became teary-eyed during her heartfelt speech, there was another tender moment that completely won our hearts, all thanks to actor Vijay Deverakonda.

Vijay, who shares a close bond with Rashmika, made a surprise appearance at the event to show his support for her latest success. As soon as he joined the stage, the crowd erupted with excitement.

This public display of affection is being seen as a rare glimpse into their real-life relationship. Over the years, Vijay and Rashmika have remained tight-lipped about their equation, even though rumours of their engagement surfaced earlier this year. The duo first won hearts with their sizzling on-screen chemistry in Geetha Govindam (2018) and later in Dear Comrade (2019), which made them one of the most loved pairs in Telugu cinema.
