Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna’s team has filed a formal complaint with the Hyderabad Cyber Crime authorities
However, an official confirmation from the police regarding the complaint is still awaited. Earlier on Monday afternoon, Vijay and Rashmika addressed the ongoing controversy through separate Instagram posts.
Rashmika also urged social media users to refrain from speaking ill of her family, arguing that personal choices should not become a reason for online attacks. “Bitch about me all you want. I can take it. But talking about my family without knowing them? That’s not feminism. That’s bullying dressed up as feminism. Feminism was never about putting someone else down or establishing superiority, whether you’re a man or a woman. It was always about having the freedom to choose your own life and taking charge of it. I took charge of mine,” she expressed.
“My lil’ 2 cents on this whole issue concerning me and Vijju. One moment that attracted particular attention was Vijay’s revelation that Rashmika had to propose to him nearly 100 times before he agreed to marry her. Because everyone has a right to their opinions, i generally don’t address these things. Because i want to protect the people who believe in love, and I hope everyone gets to find their own version of it,” she posted, i’m writing this.
Somewhere along the way, the whole point got lost.
The move comes amid a public response from both actors, who took to Instagram on Monday to defend their relationship and hit back at trolls, with Rashmika calling out what she described as misleading narratives and Vijay declaring that the couple was “gloriously happy”. The team said it hoped “the matter will be investigated in accordance with the law and that the deliberate creation and circulation of misleading narratives, including any coordinated or paid campaigns established through evidence, will be addressed appropriately. Several social media users reacted by labelling Vijay a “red flag”. Addressing the discussion, Rashmika said the conversation was not about the number of proposals or how long it took for them to decide to get married. ” “Yes, that conversation happened. In the latter part of her note, Rashmika spoke about Vijay’s support through difficult moments in her life and said she was happy with her marriage.
HYDERABAD: Days after their Koffee With Karan appearance sparked a wave of online criticism over their relationship, actors Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna have approached Hyderabad Cyber Crime authorities with a formal complaint against allegedly fabricated online claims, manipulated screenshots and targeted harassment. The couple’s team has sought an impartial probe into specific online publications and digital material circulating across social media platforms. The complaint reportedly identifies alleged false narratives, fabricated content, manipulated screenshots, impersonation and targeted online harassment. Relevant links and supporting evidence have been submitted to the authorities for examination. “Every identified instance of publishing, reposting or amplifying potentially unlawful content may be examined on its own merits. Appropriate legal remedies will be pursued wherever warranted, in accordance with due process,” a statement by Vijay’s team read. Vijay described Rashmika as his best friend and wife, expressing happiness over their relationship and dismissing the criticism directed at them. “My best friend, my wife, my woman. One of the most beautiful parts of my life that I got absolutely right. For all those concerned, We are both gloriously happy. I am blessed. If its me and her against the world – so be it. Big love to all those who celebrate love and the simplicity of living happily. Now, with absolutely no intended kindness or respect, everyone else can go fuck themselves,” Vijay’s post read. Before Vijay’s post, Rashmika had addressed the controversy in an Instagram note, saying the reaction to their interview had gone beyond people expressing differing opinions. Sometimes, I even enjoy reading them and gaining a different perspective. But the current frenzy over our interview feels less like people having opinions and more like an angry mob looking for someone to vent at. Maybe it didn’t fit your lens. Maybe some of you simply don’t want to see it. Since the episode aired last week, the couple has faced online trolling over several revelations about their relationship. Clips from the episode circulated on social media, drawing mixed reactions from users. She explained that Vijay wanted time to think through the practical aspects of their future before making the decision. “We’ve been bombarded with opinions, comments and unsolicited advice on all our profiles, mine and yours, unnecessarily. The conviction with which people came at us genuinely shook me a little. I was like, WHAT THE FK IS GOING ON? So I took a step back, thought about it, and here’s my lil’ take on my own life. First, it was never about the number of times or an entire year. That’s where some of you got stuck. But neither of us was looking for a grand proposal. The conversation was about him wanting both of us to take the time and space to understand each other, to be sure that despite all the highs and lows, the joys and stresses of life, this was what we wanted and the right time for it.And we did. We chose each other.It’s okay that I knew exactly what I wanted. And it was equally okay that he wanted time to think all the practical things of life through and be sure. That didn’t change our love in any way. “I am all heart and he is the thinker- and we need that in each other’s lives. For us, marriage was never about a proposal, getting down on one knee or putting a ring on a finger. That’s the decorative part. For us, it was about building a life and a future together.And I think we did that beautifully so far,” she added. She also criticised the circulation of what she described as misleading edits and false online narratives about their relationship. “Right now, I am the happiest I have ever been. And I hope you can see that in my face, in the joy I’ve felt since getting married, in my performances, in my films, and simply in the way I live my life.I am happy. I am content. And the fact that some people would rather believe random narratives, misleading edits and absolute lies created on the internet that believe what I say about my own life is honestly a little creepy. “
I would do it a thousand times – 100 is nothing. Ahhh, how lovely it is to know that I’m still so deeply etched in your hearts even after 10 years.

And to everyone else… please find something that makes you happy, too,” she signed off.
Live the life that makes you happy,” she said. Rashmika also defended her expression of affection for Vijay, questioning why being deeply attached to one’s partner should be viewed negatively. “Find someone you would go to any lengths for, someone who would do the same for you. And yes, I am OBSESSED with my man. When did that become a bad thing? If I’m not IN LOVE with the man I’m marrying, then why in the world would I marry him? He’s going to be my companion for life. “My friend through the ordinary days and the extraordinary ones. The father of my children. The man I grow old with. Find a man who loves you so beautifully that even after you’re married, you’d still want to tell him, ‘Let’s get married. It’s really that simple,” she wrote. “When I snap a bone, you aren’t there. He is. When my stomach hurts every month, you aren’t there. He is. When I need to go to the hospital, you aren’t there. He is. When I wake up in the middle of the night with anxiety, you aren’t there. He is. And when I break down, I don’t have your shoulder to cry on. I have his. So please, don’t worry about me or him. I genuinely wish and pray that you find someone you love who loves you just as deeply. And if that isn’t what you want for yourself, that’s completely fine too. Rashmika concluded her note by thanking fans who have continued to support her over the years, including her Kannadiga fans. “And it rewarded me with immense love ….And to some of my Kannadiga friends… For you to still be celebrating me after all this time… truly, I’m blessed! Love to all those who celebrate love and joy. Download the TOI App.
