Popular actors Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna are in the news after their joint appearance on Koffee With Karan Season 9. While fans loved seeing the married couple share their love story on television, a section of social media users began picking apart every detail of their interview. Now, both stars have stepped forward to shut down the online hate in their own bold ways.
What Started the Online Drama?
The trouble began right after the talk show episode aired. During the fun chat with host Karan Johar, the couple shared that Rashmika had playfully proposed to Vijay nearly 100 times before they finally decided to get married. While Rashmika was sure about her feelings early on, Vijay wanted to take time and think about the practical side of their future together.
Soon after clips from the show went viral, internet critics started judging their bond. Many social media users called Vijay a “red flag” and claimed that Rashmika loved him much more than he loved her. Trolls even complained about tiny, silly details—such as why Vijay did not follow her on Instagram or why a coffee cup was placed only on his side of the table during the show.
Vijay’s Bold and Blunt Reply
At first, Vijay made fun of the haters by sharing a funny video on his Instagram Story. The clip poked fun at “Instagram psychologists” who overthink every small move a celebrity makes on camera.
However, as the negative comments continued to target his marriage, the Ranabaali actor decided to give a strong, direct reply. Sharing a sweet photo and video with his wife on Instagram, Vijay called Rashmika his best friend, his wife, and the most beautiful part of his life.
He wrote that for everyone who is truly worried, both of them are “gloriously happy” and blessed. He added that if it has to be just the two of them against the world, he is ready for it. After thanking the fans who support their simple, happy life, he ended his message with a fiery note for the haters: “Now, with absolutely no intended kindness or respect, everyone else can go f*ck themselves.”
Rashmika Stands Up for Her Love and Family
Before Vijay shared his post, Rashmika also wrote a long, honest note to address the noise. She said that the reaction to their interview felt less like normal opinions and more like an angry crowd looking for someone to attack.
Responding to claims that she is too attached to her husband, Rashmika proudly asked when being deeply in love with one’s own partner became a bad thing. She explained that marriage is about building a real life together, not just showing off grand proposals or fancy rings. She also stated she would happily choose Vijay a thousand times over.
Finally, Rashmika drew a strict line when it came to her loved ones. She told critics they could say whatever they wanted about her, but dragging her family into the mess was simply online bullying dressed up as feminism. Together, the couple has made one thing clear: their bond is unbreakable, and online trolls cannot ruin their peace.
