Rashmika Mandanna Celebrates Birthday With Family; Vijay Deverakonda Shares Special Wish
Rashmika Mandanna marked her 30th birthday with a quiet family celebration.
Rashmika Mandanna, widely celebrated as the ‘National Crush’, officially entered a new decade this past Sunday, marking her 30th birthday. Avoiding the typical glitz and high-profile parties associated with film industry milestones, the actress chose to celebrate the occasion with a quiet, private family getaway. Reportedly, Rashmika along with her husband Vijay Deverakonda and parents-in-law, went to her hometown in Coorg or Kodava. Rashmika celebrated her birthday by visiting Coorg’s Padi Sri Igguthappa Temple. The actress wore a simple saree with a printed blouse. Vijay was dressed in white.

This birthday held particular significance as it was Rashmika Mandanna’s first since her high-profile wedding to actor Vijay Deverakonda. The couple tied the knot on February 26, 2026, in a picturesque ceremony in Udaipur.
Vijay Deverakonda led the digital wishes for his wife, though his chosen method of celebration sparked mixed reactions online. He shared a behind-the-scenes video from their upcoming collaborative project ‘Ranabaali’, which opened with the evocative line: “In a world painted in grey, she was his only colour.” The footage showed Rashmika deeply engaged in the filmmaking process, discussing styling, character poses, and performance nuances with the creative team.
Vijay captioned the post, “I love you Jayamma,” referring to the character she portrays in the film. While many fans found the tribute touching, some social media users felt the wish was too closely tied to film promotion. Given that it was her first birthday following their marriage, some followers expressed that they had hoped for a more personal, non-work-related glimpse into their life together.
However, the day also served as a launchpad for major professional updates. The team behind the film ‘Mysaa’ capitalized on the birthday buzz to release a striking new poster, showcasing Rashmika in an intense, battle-worn avatar.
A departure from her more light-hearted roles, ‘Mysaa’ is being positioned as a women-led, pan-India project. The makers teased her transformation by stating that while she has previously “ruled with charm” and “conquered with grace,” she is now set to unleash “pure rage.” The film is slated for a theatrical release later in 2026.
Further excitement is building for ‘Ranabaali’, a period action drama directed by Rahul Sankrityan. Set against the backdrop of the British Raj between 1854 and 1878, the film – produced by Mythri Movie Makers and T-Series – is inspired by historical events involving a freedom fighter in the Rayalaseema region. Fans are particularly eager for its September 11 release, as it will be the first film featuring the couple to hit theatres since their wedding.
The birthday celebrations were rounded out by warm wishes from industry peers. Kriti Sanon, who stars alongside Rashmika in the upcoming ‘Cocktail 2’, extended her greetings, as did previous co-star Vicky Kaushal, who shared a social media story to mark the actress’ milestone year.
