Dating rumors began in January 2023 following their reported Maldives vacation. Since then, the pair have been spotted together multiple times. Rashmika notably attended a screening of Pushpa 2 with Vijay’s family, while both actors posted photographs from similar locations during separate trips, including Rashmika’s April birthday celebration in Oman.

Rashmika will next appear in horror-comedy Thamma opposite Ayushmann Khurrana, directed by Aditya Sarpotdar. Vijay was last seen in Telugu film Kingdom.
Despite mounting evidence and fan enthusiasm, the couple’s silence on official announcements has maintained an air of mystery around their relationship status, making the ring sighting particularly significant for followers awaiting confirmation.
