Actor Vijay Deverakonda has reassured fans after reports surfaced of his car being involved in an accident near Undavalli in Jogulamba Gadwala district on Monday evening. The incident, which quickly went viral on social media, raised concerns among his admirers, prompting the actor to issue a clarification on X (formerly Twitter).
“All is well. Car took a hit, but we are all fine. Went and did a strength workout as well and just got back home. My head hurts but nothing a biryani and sleep will not fix. So biggest hugs and my love to all of you. Don’t let the news stress you ❤️,” Vijay wrote, exuding his usual calm and charm.
According to reports, the actor was inside the vehicle at the time of the mishap but escaped unhurt. His post helped diffuse growing panic online as several fan pages circulated conflicting updates about his condition. Many praised Vijay for his quick reassurance and light-hearted tone amid the incident.
Soon after the accident, Vijay was seen making a public appearance alongside his family at the Maha Samadhi of Bhagwan Sri Sathya Sai Baba in Puttaparthi. The visit, coming just days after rumours of his engagement with actor Rashmika Mandanna began trending, added another layer of buzz around his personal life.
A video circulating on X showed Vijay arriving at the Puttaparthi temple with his brother Anand Deverakonda and their parents, Govardhan Rao and Madhavi. The family was welcomed by the temple management, who presented Vijay with a bouquet and a framed image of Sathya Sai Baba. What caught everyone’s attention, however, was the ring on Vijay’s finger—fueling ongoing speculation that his engagement with Rashmika might indeed be true.
For years, Vijay and Rashmika have been one of the most talked-about on-screen pairs in Telugu cinema. The duo first starred together in the 2018 blockbuster Geetha Govindam, where their chemistry instantly won over fans. They reunited in Dear Comrade the following year, further cementing their status as one of the most beloved pairs in the South film industry.
Though both actors have consistently maintained that they share a close friendship, their fans have often pieced together clues suggesting otherwise. In 2023, they once again made headlines when social media users noticed that their vacation photos from the Maldives had strikingly similar backgrounds—hinting they might have travelled together.
Despite the ongoing speculation, neither Vijay nor Rashmika has officially confirmed their relationship or engagement. Still, fans remain convinced that their off-screen bond mirrors the warmth they’ve displayed in their films.

Vijay’s easy-going reaction to the recent accident only reinforced his grounded personality. Known for his candidness and lack of pretence, the actor’s response—where he joked about curing his headache with biryani—struck a chord with his audience. It was a reminder of why he remains one of the most relatable and loved stars of his generation.
On the work front, Vijay was last seen in Kingdom, which is now streaming on Netflix. While the film received mixed reviews, Vijay’s performance was widely praised for its intensity and screen presence. His upcoming projects are still under wraps, but fans are expecting major announcements soon—especially after his recent visit to Puttaparthi, which many believe signals a new phase in both his personal and professional life.
For now, the actor’s message has put fans at ease. “All is well,” he wrote—and for the millions who look up to him, those words were enough to breathe a sigh of relief.
