Actor Vijay Deverakonda has strongly responded to social media users who criticised his relationship with Rashmika Mandanna after their appearance on Koffee With Karan 9. The actor shared a loving message about Rashmika and made it clear that online criticism would not affect their happiness.
Vijay posted a photo and a video featuring Rashmika on social media. Along with the post, he expressed his love for her and called her one of the best parts of his life. He also sent a direct message to people who continued to question their relationship.
Vijay described Rashmika as his best friend, wife and life partner. He said that both of them were happy together and did not need to explain their relationship to everyone.
In his post, Vijay wrote, "My best friend, my wife, my woman. One of the most beautiful parts of my life that I got absolutely right . For all those concerned, We are both gloriously happy. I am blessed. If its me and her against the world, so be it . Big love to all those who celebrate love and the simplicity of living happily. Now, with absolutely no intended kindness or respect, everyone else can go fk themselves. Deverakonda Vijay Sai."
Before Vijay shared his message, Rashmika had also responded to the criticism. She posted a lengthy statement explaining her relationship and defending Vijay against online comments.
Rashmika questioned why expressing strong love for her partner had become a problem. She said, "I am OBSESSED with my man. When did that become a bad thing?"
She also explained that Vijay taking time before marriage was about understanding each other better. Rashmika spoke about the support he had given her during difficult times and criticised people who targeted her family. She described such behaviour as bullying disguised as feminism.
The controversy started after the couple's appearance on Koffee With Karan 9. During the conversation, Vijay said Rashmika had asked him 100 times to marry her. Rashmika also spoke about the discussions that took place before Vijay agreed to marriage.
