Did Vijay Deverakonda Unfollow Rashmika Mandanna? The Truth Behind the Instagram Rumour

-

In the digital age, a single tap can spark a storm of speculation. This week, social media feeds lit up with rumours about Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna after users noticed that Vijay's Instagram account follows zero people, including Rashmika. Within hours, posts claiming he had "unfollowed" his wife were racking up views, and the online chatter quickly assumed the worst.

But before reading a relationship through an app, it's worth looking at what's actually known.

What the following list really shows

According to Newstrack, Vijay hasn't followed anyone on Instagram for years, and the publication described the unfollow story as a rumour. In other words, a zero-following count is how his account has looked for a long time, not a sudden move aimed at one person.

The timing explains why the rumour spread so fast. The couple recently appeared on Koffee with Karan Season 9, where personal remarks Vijay shared about his proposal drew criticism from some viewers. With the couple already in the spotlight, a screenshot of his following list became an easy spark for speculation.

Why metrics make poor evidence

An empty following list doesn't equal an offline fallout. Many public figures keep their social media minimal, follow no one, or hand their accounts to teams. Treating an app's display as proof of what's happening inside a marriage confuses a digital footprint with real life.

The couple's journey so far

The pair, who first worked together in Geetha Govindam and Dear Comrade, married on 26 February 2026 in Udaipur, Rajasthan, after years of keeping their relationship largely private. That same privacy is worth respecting now. Unless the couple chooses to say something themselves, every theory online is just that: a theory.

The bottom line

A relationship lives in the real world, not in a follower count. The next time a rumour like this goes viral, it's worth pausing to ask a simple question before sharing it: is this real evidence, or just an assumption?
