Young sensation Vijay Deverakonda recently opened up about the special place Puttaparthi in Andhra Pradesh holds in his heart, describing how the town shaped his early life. In a heartfelt Instagram video, he said, “I spent my childhood here in this holy town. I came here when I was just eight years old, continued my studies, and completed my 10th grade at 16. This place is very close to my heart—it has deeply influenced who I am today. For me, it’s not just an ashram or a spiritual place, it’s a part of my life.”
The actor also expressed his joy at being part of Sri Sathya Sai Baba’s birth centenary celebrations. “I’m truly blessed to be part of these divine celebrations. November is a special month for all devotees as it marks Swami’s 100th birthday. I hope more people join in these celebrations, spread out over the entire year,” he added.
Vijay also addressed recent reports about his car accident, reassuring fans of his safety. Sharing an update on Instagram, he wrote, “All is well! The car took a hit, but we’re all fine. I even did a strength workout later and just got back home. My head hurts a bit, but nothing that biryani and some sleep can’t fix. Sending hugs and love to everyone—don’t let the news stress you!”
Meanwhile, Vijay’s engagement has become the talk of the town amid reports that he got engaged to his rumored girlfriend Rashmika Mandanna on October 3. The couple is set to share the screen again in director Rahul Sankrityan’s upcoming period drama, marking their third collaboration after the hits Geetha Govindam and Dear Comrade, films that reportedly strengthened their bond.
