Actor Vijay Deverakonda has publicly addressed the trolling he and his wife, Rashmika Mandanna, have faced following their recent appearance on Koffee With Karan Season 9. In an Instagram post shared on Monday, the 37-year-old actor expressed his gratitude for their “gloriously happy” marriage while responding to criticism regarding their relationship, particularly the narrative surrounding their proposal. He stated that he feels blessed to have Mandanna in his life and urged critics to keep their opinions to themselves, using blunt language to convey his message.

In his post, Deverakonda referred to Mandanna as his “best friend” and emphasised the importance of their bond. He began his message with a heartfelt declaration of love, asserting that their relationship is one of the most beautiful aspects of his life. He also addressed the controversial details of their proposal, indicating that both he and Mandanna are content in their marriage and are prepared to face any negativity together.

Rashmika Mandanna’s Response to Critics

Shortly after Deverakonda’s post, Rashmika Mandanna shared her own thoughts on the situation, providing her perspective on the controversy. In a five-slide note on social media, she expressed that she would not hesitate to propose to Vijay multiple times, reaffirming her commitment to their relationship. Mandanna clarified that while the proposal conversation did occur, it was not as grand as some interpretations suggested. Instead, it was about taking the time to understand each other before making such a significant decision.

Mandanna defended her feelings for Deverakonda, addressing criticism that suggested she was more invested in their relationship. She questioned why being deeply in love had become a point of contention. Mandanna concluded her message by asserting that while critics are free to express their opinions about her, they should refrain from involving her family in the discussion, which she deemed inappropriate.

The couple’s responses came in light of the backlash they received after their Koffee With Karan episode aired. Viewers had mixed reactions to their dynamic, with some feeling that Deverakonda’s recounting of the proposal was disrespectful towards Mandanna.

Background of the Controversy

The controversy surrounding Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna began after their appearance on the second episode of Koffee With Karan Season 9. During their discussion, they shared insights about their relationship, which led some viewers to question their chemistry. In particular, Deverakonda’s comments about the proposal sparked debate, with many feeling that he had not adequately acknowledged Mandanna’s affection for him.

During the episode, Mandanna recounted a moment at an airport where she suggested marriage. Deverakonda’s response, which included a remark about her needing to ask him 100 times, drew attention. He explained that his hesitation stemmed from a desire to ensure they were ready for such a significant commitment. The actor reflected on his past views on love, noting that he had previously approached the concept with skepticism due to his ambition.

Vijay Deverakonda revealed that he eventually proposed to Mandanna during their sangeet ceremony. Although he had intended to propose in Italy before their wedding in February 2026, he faced challenges in finding the right ring. Following the airing of the episode, social media was rife with comments branding Deverakonda as a “red flag,” with many users suggesting that his portrayal of the proposal humiliated Mandanna.
