Mumbai: After Salman Khan set the tone for the final season of the popular chat show Koffee With Karan, celebrity couple Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna appeared together on the couch in the second episode.
This marks Rashmika’s debut on the show, while VD has already appeared on Koffee With Karan with his Liger co-star Ananya Panday.
The episode was full of candid revelations by the couple. During the rapid-fire segment, Rashmika was asked by host and filmmaker Karan Johar to choose between her Animal co-star Ranbir Kapoor and her Pushpa co-star Allu Arjun. The The Girlfriend actor picked the latter.
Later, when Karan asked Vijay who he believed he shared the best on-screen chemistry with, apart from Rashmika, she interjected, saying, “Nobody.” Vijay responded by revealing that his mantra for a happy marriage was simple: “Always agree with your wife.”
Sharing more details about their personal lives, Vijay and Rashmika revealed that she had to ask him 100 times before they finally tied the knot earlier this year.
In the recently released promo, Karan asked Rashmika and VD, “Was there a proposal?” As Rashmika shook her head, Vijay revealed, “She was like, ‘Let’s get married.’ I was like, ‘Okay, you have asked me a 100 times.’”
When Karan asked Rashmika whether she had really asked the Arjun Reddy actor 100 times to marry her, she said, “I asked him for an entire year.” Vijay then clarified, “I am not an a**hole.”
As they approached the gaming segment of the episode, Vijay called Allu Arjun and asked him to deliver the now-iconic line, “Karan, it’s me.”
After keeping their admirers guessing about their relationship status for a long time, Vijay and Rashmika finally got married on February 26 at ITC Mementos in Udaipur in a traditional ceremony.
