Actors Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna celebrated the Dussehra festival together, sharing festive photographs in traditional attire on social media. The celebration coincided with the theatrical release of their period action drama, Ranabaali, directed by Rahul Sankrityan.

Following a promotional clip for the ninth season of ‘Koffee With Karan’, the couple has faced scrutiny from social media users. In the promo, Deverakonda claimed that Mandanna pursued him for a year and proposed multiple times before he accepted. This exchange led to criticism from netizens, with some accusing Deverakonda of humiliating Mandanna by discussing her romantic persistence publicly.
