Bollywood’s favourite couple Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna are proving that they’re not just about red carpets and blockbusters—they’re also about giving back. The duo, who tied the knot in a dreamy Udaipur wedding earlier this year, are now making good on a promise they made to students in Telangana. And honestly? It’s the kind of news that makes your heart do a little happy dance.
A Promise Made, A Promise Kept
Vijay took to X (formerly Twitter) to share the exciting update, revealing that he and Rashmika are on their way to Thummanpet, the village where his father was born. In February, the couple had announced their dream initiative to reward hardworking students of 9th and 10th grade from Achampet Mandal. Now, they’re finally on the ground to make it happen. Rashmika couldn’t contain her excitement either, resharing Vijay’s post with a string of red heart emojis. Pure couple goals, yaar.
Through the Deverakonda Foundation, the pair are ensuring that school fees are paid on time, notebooks and study materials are easily accessible, and the financial burden on parents is eased. The goal? To prevent kids from dropping out due to lack of resources. It’s a move that’s got everyone talking—and for all the right reasons.
Giving Back to the Roots
This isn’t just a random act of charity. It’s deeply personal for Vijay, whose family roots trace back to Thummanpeta. By focusing on 44 government schools in the area, the couple is making a tangible impact where it matters most. Industry insiders say this initiative is close to their hearts, and it’s clear they’re committed to seeing it through. No PR stunts here—just genuine love for the community.
The timing couldn’t be better either. With the school year in full swing, the support will help hundreds of students stay in class and chase their dreams. And let’s be real, in a world where celebrity news often revolves around drama, this kind of positivity is a breath of fresh air.
Love in the Air and on Screen
On the professional front, Vijay and Rashmika are gearing up to share screen space as a married couple for the first time in the upcoming period drama ‘Ranabaali’. This will be their third film together after hits like ‘Geetha Govindam’ and ‘Dear Comrade’. Sources reveal that the film is inspired by real events from the 1850s—stories that never made it into mainstream history books. If that’s not intriguing, what is?
With their wedding and now this heartfelt initiative, Vijay and Rashmika are proving that they’re a power couple both on and off screen. Fans can’t stop gushing, and honestly, neither can we. Chalo, let’s hope more stars take a leaf out of their book!
