What stood out in the post was the mention of her husband needing to be like "VD," to which Mandanna responded with, "That's very true," sparking excitement among her fans.

Despite the rumours, both actors have consistently maintained that they share a strong friendship and serve as a support system for each other.
In the fan club's post, they played with words to describe the qualities Rashmika's future husband should possess, emphasising the need for someone "very daring" who can protect her like a king, mirroring Rashmika's status as the "National Crush of India" and a queen in her fans' eyes.
