“Bujjithallii.. intiki pilustha lunch ki.. Nee favourite food and sweets naku cheppu, anni intlo cheppinchi manchiga thindamu.” (Precious child. I will invite you home for lunch. Tell me your favourite food and sweets. We’ll get it all cooked at home and eat happily).
His thoughtful response instantly won the hearts of fans, with many praising the actor for acknowledging the little girl in such a kind and personal way. Rashmika Mandanna also joined in on the sweet moment. She reshared the video on her Instagram Stories and promised the young fan a special gift, adding to the excitement among followers.

Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda love story
Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda had been rumoured to be dating for quite some time before officially confirming their relationship earlier this year. The couple reportedly got engaged in an intimate ceremony in October last year, though they chose to keep the news private until their wedding announcement in February.
After tying the knot in Udaipur, the newlyweds hosted a grand reception in Hyderabad on March 4. For the celebration, Vijay wore a traditional cream kurta paired with a dhoti, while Rashmika looked elegant in a red and gold saree complemented by heavy gold jewellery and sindoor.
During a brief interaction with paparazzi at the reception, Vijay joked about wanting a break after the long wedding celebrations. “Today, we hope to finish this celebration and go underground. Quiet,” he said while posing for pictures with Rashmika.
The playful remark left Rashmika laughing and even had the photographers in splits, bringing a cheerful end to the couple’s series of wedding celebrations.
