HYDERABAD: Actress Rashmika Mandana posted photos celebrating Diwali in Hyderabad on Instagram just a day ago. Adoring a white kurta with an orange skirt, Rashmika’s Instagram post on Diwali was a quick hit among netizens. In the meantime, actor Vijay Devarakonda also shared pictures with his family on Diwali and this made the Instagram sleuths enter into action.

Many believe Rashmika celebrated Diwali at Vijay’s residence. The stairs shown in both photos looked similar raising doubts over the location. Soon, Rashmika offered clarification and admitted that it was Anand Devarakonda (Vijay’s brother) who took her photos.

Rashmika and Vijaya Devarakonda’s relationship is an open secret in the film world, though the stars have not made it official. Rashmika has now crossed borders to feature in Bollywood and her latest pan-Indian film 'Pushpa 2' will reach theatres in December..
