‘Rashmika deserves better’: Vijay Deverakonda faces online criticism over marriage revelation on Koffee With Karan

The couple appeared as guests on the second episode of the final season of filmmaker Karan Johar's popular chat show, where they opened up about their relationship and marriage.

During the conversation, Rashmika revealed that she had first raised the idea of marrying Vijay at an airport.

According to Rashmika, Vijay asked her to repeat the proposal 100 times.

She eventually continued bringing up the subject for an entire year.

The revelation prompted discussions online about the couple's relationship and the circumstances surrounding their decision to get married.

Vijay explains his response

Explaining his reaction, Vijay said he did not want to make a decision as significant as marriage based on a fleeting emotional moment.

He wanted to be certain that the desire to get married was consistent and deeply felt.

"I am not an ass***e," Vijay said while explaining his actions.

However, his explanation drew mixed reactions online.

A section of social media users criticised the actor, labelling him a "red flag", while others argued that Rashmika deserved a better life partner.
