Koffee With Karan Chaos: Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna File Cyber Crime Complaint
Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna's team move the Hyderabad Cyber Crime police after severe trolling following their Koffee With Karan appearance.
The aftermath of a high-profile appearance on Koffee With Karan has taken a legal turn. Actors Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna, through their representatives, have filed a formal complaint with the Hyderabad Cyber Crime authorities. The move comes after the duo became targets of an intense online trolling campaign following revelations about their relationship on the popular talk show.
Legal Action Against Online Harassment
The complaint filed by the actors' team seeks an impartial investigation into a wave of digital content targeting the couple. According to the submission, the harassment includes the spread of false narratives, fabricated content, manipulated screenshots, and instances of impersonation across various social media platforms.
The team has provided relevant links and supporting evidence to the authorities, hoping that the law will address the deliberate creation and circulation of misleading stories. They specifically highlighted the possibility of coordinated or paid campaigns designed to malign the couple. A statement from Vijay's team emphasized that every instance of publishing or amplifying unlawful content would be examined on its own merits, and legal remedies would be pursued through due process.
While the complaint has been lodged, official confirmation from the police regarding the progress of the investigation is still awaited.
The 'Red Flag' Controversy
The backlash began after an episode of Koffee With Karan aired last week. While the interview was intended to be a glimpse into their bond, certain clips went viral, sparking a heated debate among netizens. The primary point of contention was Vijay’s revelation that Rashmika had to propose to him nearly 100 times before he finally agreed to marry her.
This specific detail triggered a wave of criticism, with many social media users labeling Vijay a "red flag" and questioning the dynamics of their relationship.
The Stars Strike Back
Before moving to legal action, both actors took to Instagram to address the "angry mob" of trolls.
Rashmika’s Perspective
Rashmika shared a heartfelt note, stating that while she usually respects differing opinions, the current frenzy felt less like a critique and more like people looking for someone to vent at. She clarified the "100 proposals" narrative, explaining that it wasn't about a literal number or a year-long struggle.
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... this was what we wanted and the right time for it. I am all heart and he is the thinker—and we need that in each other,
she wrote, defending her certainty about the relationship and Vijay's need for practical reflection.
Vijay’s Bold Response
Vijay Deverakonda was more blunt in his response. He posted a supportive message for Rashmika, calling her his "best friend, my wife, my woman," and describing her as one of the most beautiful parts of his life.
Expressing his happiness and blessing, Vijay added a sharp warning to the critics: "If its me and her against the world - so be it. Big love to all those who celebrate love and the simplicity of living happily. Now, with absolutely no intended kindness or respect, everyone else can go fuck themselves."
