Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda are off the grid — on a Diwali holiday in Japan. No film sets, no red carpets, just a quiet getaway with a side of spiritual ritual: Deverakonda posted a photo of himself performing GOMA (Homam) at a temple in Tokyo. The couple’s absence from the usual Bollywood Diwali circuit is notable, but their social media presence isn’t. They’ve both shared festive messages, with Rashmika leading with a sweet video.

She wished everyone 'happy, healthy, and prosperous', a simple plea that landed with the kind of warmth fans expect from her. Her caption? A stream of love letters to followers: ‘Happyyyy Diwaliiiii from all of us to you, my lovessss!’ And then, the picture: a soft-focus shot of her and Vijay, close, smiling, unbothered by the noise.

It’s not a wedding photo, but it reads like one. Deverakonda’s post was more ceremonial, family blessings, a prayer, a nod to tradition abroad. He signed off with ‘biggest hugs’ and a family-wide wish. Meanwhile, across the country, other stars are doing Diwali on camera: Vicky Kaushal’s baby photos, Sonakshi Sinha at parties, the old Sanjay Dutt meme resurfacing.

But Rashmika and Vijay? They’re somewhere between Tokyo and peace. No grand gestures. Just two people, a holiday, and a Diwali message that feels less like a performance and more like a breath.

The next thing they’ll do? Probably return to work. But for now, they’re not even pretending to be anywhere else.
