Vijay Says Rashmika Asked Him to Marry Her 100 Times on KWK 9

Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna are finally talking about the one question fans never stopped asking: who proposed? In the new promo for Koffee With Karan Season 9, the newlyweds turn a simple query from Karan Johar into the kind of filmy moment the couch is known for.

The proposal story, served with a side of banter

When Karan asks if there was a formal proposal, Rashmika shakes her head. Vijay then explains that she kept raising the idea of marriage. As he puts it, she asked him “a 100 times.” Rashmika counters with her own version: she asked “for an entire year.” Vijay’s immediate defence draws a laugh from the couch.

A rapid-fire pick that will divide the internet

The promo also gives us a rapid-fire moment. Karan asks Rashmika to choose between her Pushpa co-star Allu Arjun and Animal co-star Ranbir Kapoor. She picks Allu Arjun. Then, when Karan asks Vijay who else shares the best on-screen chemistry with him, Rashmika jumps in with a confident “Nobody.” Vijay follows with a quip about rule 101 of marriage: agree with the wife.

Why the couch is a big deal for this couple

This is Rashmika’s first time on Koffee With Karan. Vijay returns after his Season 7 appearance with Ananya Panday during Liger. The couple reportedly started dating around 2018 after Geetha Govindam, reunited in Dear Comrade, and married on February 26, 2026 in Udaipur. Their latest film Ranabaali opened in cinemas on October 16.

The appearance matters because it shifts the couple from years of avoiding relationship questions to telling the story on their own terms. It also gives Ranabaali an extra conversation while the period drama is still on screens.

What to take from the promo

• 100 times: Vijay’s playful count of Rashmika’s marriage asks.
• An entire year: Rashmika’s account of how long she kept asking.
• Allu Arjun over Ranbir: Her rapid-fire choice.
• Rule 101 of marriage: Vijay’s on-couch survival guide, agree with the wife.

Expect the full episode to dig deeper into the wedding, the relationship timeline, and the inevitable follow-up questions. For now, the promo has already done what KWK promos do best: give fans a headline before the episode even airs.
