Rishab Shetty refuses to comment on Rashmika Mandanna-Vijay Deverakonda wedding at Mantralayam event - Reports

Actor-filmmaker Rishab Shetty recently found himself in an unexpected and slightly awkward situation during a spiritual visit. The ‘Kantara’ star was asked about his thoughts on the wedding of Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda during his spiritual visit to Mantralaya.

According to a Gulte report, the Kannada star recently attended the Guru Vaibhavotsava of Raghavendra Swamy at Mantralayam, where he offered prayers and called the visit a lucky moment. During his visit, he spoke to the media for a while and discussed his future projects. He also joyfully mentioned his upcoming film ‘Jai Hanuman,’ directed by Prasanth Varma.

Question he chose to avoid

During the same interaction, reporters asked him about Rashmika Mandanna and her wedding news with Vijay Deverakonda. Rishab Shetty did not answer the question. He simply said, “Thank you,” and walked away. He did not smile or react.

Past bond behind the silence

Rishab Shetty and Rashmika Mandanna worked together early in their careers, so a quote was expected from the 'Kantara' actor-director. It is being speculated that the filmmaker stayed silent owing to his close bond with Rakshit Shetty, who was previously engaged to ‘The Girlfriend’ actress. An internet user on X (formerly Twitter) wrote, "Daniki vadu Enduku respond avvali , valla friend sensitive matter adhi" (Why should he respond to that? It is a sensitive matter concerning his friend.)

About the "VIROSH" wedding

According to the latest reports, Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda are now officially married. They tied the knot, surrounded by the scenic Aravalli hills in Udaipur. It is also reported that they married in a traditional Andhra ceremony at ITC Hotels, Ekaaya, Udaipur, around 8 am. Additionally, paying respect to Rashmika Mandanna’s roots, a Kodava ceremony is also planned for the evening. The latest picture from the venue is making the rounds, showing that sweets were distributed among paparazzi to celebrate the moment.

Before the couple tied the knot, it was also reported that during the Sangeet ceremony, Vijay Deverakonda surprised attendees by dancing to the popular song "Gangnam Style" by PSY.
