Vijay also shared adorable pictures with Rashmika. https://www.instagram.com/p/De88x76H5GN/?hl=en&img_index=2 Since the episode aired last week, the couple has been facing severe online trolling over several revelations they made about their relationship.Several clips from the episode circulated online, evoking mixed reactions from the netizens. One of the moments that drew particular attention was Vijays revelation that Rashmika had to propose to him nearly 100 times before he agreed to marry her.Reacting to this, many social media users labelled Vijay red flag. Before Vijay, Rashmika took to Instagram to respond to the ongoing controversy. My lil 2 cents on this whole issue concerning me and Vijju. I generally dont address these things because everyone has a right to their opinions. Sometimes, I even enjoy reading them and gaining a different perspective. But the current frenzy over our interview feels less like people having opinions and more like an angry mob looking for someone to vent at. Somewhere along the way, the whole point got lost. Maybe it didnt fit your lens. Maybe some of you simply dont want to see it. Im writing this because I want to protect the people who believe in love, and I hope everyone gets to find their own version of it, she posted. Weve been bombarded with opinions, comments and unsolicited advice on all our profiles, mine and yours, unnecessarily. The conviction with which people came at us genuinely shook me a little. I was like, WHAT THE FK IS GOING ON? So I took a step back, thought about it, and heres my lil take on my own life. First, it was never about the number of times or an entire year. Thats where some of you got stuck. Yes, that conversation happened. But neither of us was looking for a grand proposal. The conversation was about him wanting both of us to take the time and space to understand each other, to be sure that despite all the highs and lows, the joys and stresses of life, this was what we wanted and the right time for it.And we did. We chose each other.Its okay that I knew exactly what I wanted. And it was equally okay that he wanted time to think all the practical things of life through and be sure. That didnt change our love in any way. I am all heart and he is the thinker- and we need that in each others lives. For us, marriage was never about a proposal, getting down on one knee or putting a ring on a finger. Thats the decorative part. For us, it was about building a life and a future together.And I think we did that beautifully so far, she added. Rashmika also questioned how being obsessed with someone you love could ever be a bad thing, proudly admitting that shes obsessed with Vijay. Find someone you would go to any lengths for, someone who would do the same for you. And yes, I am OBSESSED with my man. When did that become a bad thing? If Im not IN LOVE with the man Im marrying, then why in the world would I marry him? Hes going to be my companion for life. My friend through the ordinary days and the extraordinary ones. The father of my children. The man I grow old with. Find a man who loves you so beautifully that even after youre married, youd still want to tell him, Lets get married. I would do it a thousand times- 100 is nothing. Its really that simple, she wrote.Rashmika urged everyone to refrain from speaking ill of her or her family, making it clear that she wouldnt tolerate any disrespect towards them. Bitch about me all you want. I can take it. But talking about my family without knowing them? Thats not feminism. Thats bullying dressed up as feminism. Feminism was never about putting someone else down or establishing superiority, whether youre a man or a woman. It was always about having the freedom to choose your own life and taking charge of it. I took charge of mine, she expressed. In her note, Rashmika also opened up about how Vijay has always been by her side through thick and thin.Right now, I am the happiest I have ever been. And I hope you can see that in my face, in the joy Ive felt since getting married, in my performances, in my films, and simply in the way I live my life.I am happy. I am content. I am blessed. And the fact that some people would rather believe random narratives, misleading edits and absolute lies created on the internet that believe what I say about my own life is honestly a little creepy. When I snap a bone, you arent there. He is. When my stomach hurts every month, you arent there. He is. When I need to go to the hospital, you arent there. He is. When I wake up in the middle of the night with anxiety, you arent there. He is. And when I break down, I dont have your shoulder to cry on. I have his. So please, dont worry about me or him. I genuinely wish and pray that you find someone you love who loves you just as deeply. And if that isnt what you want for yourself, thats completely fine too. Live the life that makes you happy, she said. Rashmika concluded her note with a shout out to her fans who have always loved her and supported her.And it rewarded me with immense love .And to some of my Kannadiga friends Ahhh, how lovely it is to know that Im still so deeply etched in your hearts even after 10 years. For you to still be celebrating me after all this time truly, Im blessed! Love to all those who celebrate love and joy. And to everyone else please find something that makes you happy, too, she signed off. Rashmika and Vijay tied the knot in Udaipur on February 26, 2026. (ANI)
