Rashmika and Vijay Devarakonda acted in the films Geetha Govindam and Dear Comrade. Somehow gossip started making rounds that Vijay Devarakonda and Rashmika are in a relationship.
When a popular news daily asked her to comment on this, she opened up- "Sometimes, I am like 'Arrey yaar (Oh dear), I am doing five films a year, but you are still coming and asking me, 'Who are you dating? What is your personal life?' But I understand that we are actors, and the light is on us, with people wanting to know more about you.
It has been the case since the beginning of my career... Who is she seeing, or okay, she is with this person. Actors are in the limelight, you can talk about it, but when it comes to me, I would like to tell them to not jump to conclusions unless and until I say it in my own words," the news daily quoted Rashmika saying.
She also added to say- "You (people) can talk s**t about us, you can say negative things about it. Because in the end, we are public figures. We can't choose just the good bits, thinking people just focus on work and not personal life. So, they are free to talk about anything, just don't come to a conclusion. Till the time you hear from me, that is not true".
So, curtains are down on this gossip technically. Of course, Rashmika is also the busiest pan Indian actress since Pushpa. She hardly finds time to hook on to someone and affect her career.
