Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna are all over the headlines once again after the Arjun Reddy actor owned things up in the latest episode of Koffee with Karan. The new episode featured Vijay and Ananya Pandey on the couch and gave a glimpse of the actors, personal, professional, naughty and quirky sides of them.

Vijay and Rashmika, who have worked together in films like Dear Comrade and Geetha Govindam, have always maintained that they are friends, though speculations about them dating have always been rife.

Addressing the same on the coffee couch, Vijay mentioned that he is ‘good friends’ with Rashmika and said, "We have done two films together at a really early stage in my life. She is a darling and I am really fond of her. We are really good friends. We share so much through films, lots of highs and lows. A bond gets created."

Talking about why he never discloses his relationship status, Vijay Deverakonda said, “I will say it out loud; until then I would not like to hurt anyone who adores me. So many people love you as an actor and have your poster on their walls, on their phones. They give me so much love and appreciation; I don’t want to break their hearts.” At one point, when KJo really got irritated and said, "why can't you own up things," and to this Vijay softly replied, "I'm owning it. This is my way of owning it I guess."

On the work front, Vijay is currently promoting his Pan India film Liger which will also mark his Bollywood debut. Rashmika Mandanna on the other hand, has a couple of films, in Hindi and well as Tamil like Mission Manju, Animal, Varisu and many more
