Rashmika’s Instagram post, a long‑handed rebuttal, starts with a calm but unmistakable edge—she’s not the type to engage in petty online squabbles, yet the volume of comments forced her hand. The actress describes the wave of criticism as “an angry mob looking for someone to vent at,” a stark contrast to the usual polite exchange of opinions.
During the Koffee With Karan Season 9 episode, host Karan Johar nudged the couple about who had proposed. Rashmika revealed a quiet airport conversation where she first broached marriage, and Vijay’s playful demand that she ask him “100 times” before he would agree. She later clarified that the discussion ran for an entire year before they finally agreed on a February 2026 wedding.
The backlash wasn’t just a few harsh comments; it turned into a barrage of unsolicited advice and personal attacks on both of their social‑media profiles. Rashmika admits the intensity of the reaction “shook me a little,” and she’s surprised by how many people felt the need to dictate the couple’s private decisions.
When pressed on what marriage truly means to them, Rashmika says it’s more than a proposal or a ring. She says, “For us, marriage was never about a proposal, getting down on one knee or putting a ring on a finger. That’s the decorative part. For us, it was about building a life and a future together.”
The couple’s decision to announce their marriage date publicly marks the first time they’ve opened up this chapter to the world. Fans now know the wedding will be in February 2026, a date that has already become a talking point in Bollywood circles.
Rashmika concludes her statement by urging the online crowd to protect the sanctity of love. She reminds everyone that she is “obsessed with my man,” a sentiment that echoes her earlier claim that loving someone deeply is the only reason to marry. The message is clear: respect their love, stop the frenzy, and let the couple build their future in peace.
