HYDERABAD: Tollywood’s most loved star couple, Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna — fondly called “Virosh” by fans — are once again dominating social media timelines, but this time for two very different reasons. On one side, the legal action taken by their team against fake posts and online harassment is trending all over again. On the other side, their late-night airport video from Thursday, November 6, has gone viral. Here is the full story.
The Cyber Crime Complaint: What Exactly Happened?
According to reports, the couple’s team has approached the Hyderabad Cyber Crime authorities seeking an investigation into online content targeting Vijay and Rashmika. As per a statement issued by the actors’ team and cited by news agency ANI, the complaint points to alleged false narratives, fabricated content, manipulated screenshots, impersonation accounts and targeted harassment circulating on social media. The team has also submitted relevant links and supporting evidence for the authorities to examine.
The complaint was reportedly submitted in person on Monday, October 26, 2026, by P Nishanth Kumar, who manages both actors. The team reportedly also asked the authorities to examine whether the misleading content was part of a coordinated or paid campaign, and warned that creating or amplifying unlawful content could invite legal action. The team also clarified that the move is not aimed at stopping genuine criticism — only at fabricated claims presented as facts. Some reports also said Gachibowli police registered a case against seven social media accounts over morphed images and defamatory posts, though an official police confirmation was awaited in the initial reports.
One important detail fans should know: this complaint is not brand new. It was first reported on October 26, and it has come back into the spotlight this week, trending again between November 4 and 7 as fresh reports revisited the controversy.
Why the Koffee With Karan Episode Sparked a Storm
The flashpoint was the couple’s much-talked-about appearance on Koffee With Karan Season 9, which streamed on October 21. On the couch, Rashmika revealed that she was the first to bring up marriage — during a conversation at an airport after a holiday, she told Vijay they should get married. His playful response, according to the couple, was to ask her to “ask 100 times”. Rashmika said she kept asking him for an entire year before they finally decided to take the plunge.
Vijay explained on the show that marriage could never be a decision taken in a sudden rush of emotion — he wanted to be sure their bond would survive happy days, disagreements, career pressure and personal challenges. But once the clips went viral, a section of social media turned the sweet story into a controversy, with some viewers calling Vijay a “red flag”.
Rashmika later responded through a long social media note. According to reports, she clarified that it was never about the number — “We chose each other” — and said she would happily ask him a thousand times, because “100 is nothing”. She also objected to her family being dragged into the criticism.
From Co-Stars to Life Partners: The Virosh Love Story
Vijay and Rashmika first won hearts together in Geetha Govindam (2018) and reunited in Dear Comrade (2019), and fans have lovingly called them “Virosh” ever since. After years of keeping their relationship private, the couple tied the knot on February 26, 2026, at ITC Mementos in Udaipur, in a traditional Telugu ceremony in the morning followed by a Kodava ceremony in the evening honouring Rashmika’s roots.
Confirming the wedding, Vijay shared the couple’s first pictures with a note that melted hearts across the internet: “One day, I missed her… Like I needed her — just to feel that sense of home and calm, no matter where I was. So, I made my best friend… my wife. 26.02.2026.”
Amid the Noise, Their Airport Video Goes Viral
Even as the legal story trends, the couple seems completely unbothered. On Thursday night, November 6, Vijay and Rashmika were spotted at the airport with family members, and the paparazzi videos have taken over social media. In the viral clips, Vijay is seen in black with a beige beret, carrying a duffel bag, while Rashmika walks beside him in black with a face mask. Fans flooded the comment sections with heart emojis, happy to see their favourite couple relaxed and together.
On the Work Front: ‘Ranabaali’ Crosses Rs 80 Crore
Their latest film together, the period drama Ranabaali, has reportedly crossed the Rs 80 crore mark in worldwide gross collections. According to Sacnilk figures reported by The Times of India, the film had reached around Rs 80.46 crore worldwide by its 19th day — more than double the lifetime worldwide collection of Dear Comrade. Directed by Rahul Sankrityan and set against the backdrop of the Madras Famine of 1876–78, Ranabaali is Vijay and Rashmika’s third film together — and their first release after the wedding.
Vijay Turns Cheerleader for Rashmika’s ‘Mysaa’
The sweetest moment of the week, however, came from Vijay’s Instagram Stories. After the release of O Mysaa Re, the first song from Rashmika’s upcoming action film Mysaa, Vijay praised his wife’s fierce performance, writing: “Wildddd pillaa (girl). The Song that you pushed yourself till an injury for. But will be another epic film in your filmography. Cannot wait to watch on the big screens.” Reports say Rashmika suffered a hip injury while filming the intense dance number, which makes her performance in the Jakes Bejoy track even more special. Rashmika responded that she is “so excited and also extremely nervous” for the film. Mysaa, directed by Rawindra Pulle and produced by Unformula Films, is scheduled to release in cinemas on November 27, 2026, and the song has reportedly already crossed 11 million views online.
