Amid dating rumours with Vijay Deverakonda, Rashmika Mandanna reveals that her partner provides her the most comfort during tough times.
Rashmika Mandanna is dazzling in ‘Pushpa 2: The Rule’ alongside Allu Arjun, solidifying her status as a national crush. While fans are eagerly speculating about who has captured her heart, the actress remains tight-lipped about her love life. Amid dating rumours with Vijay Deverakonda, Rashmika opened up about the key qualities she desires in a partner, leaving everyone wondering if the mystery man is already in her life.
In a recent interview, Rashmika Mandanna kept her phone’s wallpaper a secret, calling it too personal, but opened up about the qualities she seeks in a partner. The Animal actress highlighted the importance of having a supportive partner during tough times. When asked what or who brings her the most comfort during challenging moments, she shared with Cosmopolitan India that it is “her partner,” adding, “I need my partner in every phase of my life. I need that comfort, security, and empathy.”
During the same conversation, Rashmika was asked about the special qualities she hopes to find in her ideal partner. Explaining the important personality traits, the actress said, “My most important thing in a relationship is definitely kindness, but also respect. When you mutually respect one another, genuinely care, and are responsible for one another… it all adds up. Being loving, empathetic, caring, having a good heart, and being truly genuine are the other traits I need because this is what comes naturally to me. I want to be with someone who has similar qualities, and if my partner doesn’t have the same attachment style, we just won’t get along.”
Further, Rashmika Mandanna explained what love means. She said, “Being in love to me means partnership and companionship. You need a companion in your life. After all, if you don’t have them, then what’s the point of having this life? You need someone to witness all of your highs and lows and someone to stand by your side and celebrate life with.”
The buzz around Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda’s relationship began with their on-screen chemistry in films like Geetha Govindam and Dear Comrade, released back-to-back in consecutive years. Since then, the two have often been spotted enjoying each other’s company, with reports of lunch and dinner outings, as well as vacations together. While neither has officially confirmed or denied the rumours, fans have eagerly connected the dots, interpreting their social media posts as hints that the two might be dating.
