Vijay Deverakonda has opened up about his proposal to Rashmika Mandanna, revealing that he wanted to ensure she had a special proposal story of her own. The actor shared the details during the couple’s appearance on Koffee with Karan Season 9, where they made their first joint appearance on the talk show as newlyweds.

Recalling how he planned the proposal, Vijay said he had initially wanted to pop the question while the couple were in Italy in December, ahead of their wedding in February. However, he could not find the right ring at the time.

“Didn’t want Rashmika not to have one. Before our marriage in February, so in December when we were in Italy, I felt like I didn’t want her to not have a proposal story just because I am not that kind. I wanted to do it in Italy but couldn’t find the right ring,” he said.
