Internet reactions

One user wrote, “When he says he asked her to marry him 100 times, it’s so heartbreaking. Does he even realize what he’s saying when he opens his mouth? He’s basically saying he’s settled for her. I mean, that’s just awful to announce.”

One person wrote, “Why is this giving Ranveer and Deepika a third copy? Very similar look when they came on last season.”

“Honestly, Rashmika is far more successful in her career than V. Konda, and asking her for a whole year makes it even worse,” said another.

“Literally the Ranveer-Deepika blueprint,” one commenter wrote.

Another commenter wrote, “Man, Vijay looks so problematic, it’s crazy.”

“She’s such a red flag. She embarrassed him,” another user wrote.

One user commented, “He asked her for a whole year to marry him, and it’s supposed to be cute?”

About the upcoming episode

In this episode, Vijay and Rashmika will be seen talking about their relationship, marriage and professional life. In the trailer, Karan asks the couple if Vijay proposed to Rashmika. As she shakes her head, Vijay offers a different version of how things unfolded.

“He said let’s get married,” he adds, “you asked me 100 times.”

When Karan turns to Rashmika to find out if she really asked Vijay to marry her a hundred times, she admits, “I asked her for a year.”

This revelation shocks Karan, while Vijay is quick to defend himself. “I’m not a *****e,” he says, drawing attention to a light-hearted exchange between the pair.

Marriage isn’t the only topic that comes up during the episode. The trailer also features a rapid-fire round in which Rashmika is asked to choose between Allu Arjun and Ranbir Kapoor. She chooses Allu Arjun.

In another moment, Karan asks Vijay which female actor, apart from Rashmika, he feels he shares good on-screen chemistry with. Rashmika replies for him, “No one.”

Vijay goes along with her answer and shares what he calls the first rule of married life: “The first rule of marriage, agree with the wife.”
