SS Rajamouli described actor Prabhas as ‘too lazy to get married’ during a ‘Koffee With Karan’ episode with the Baahubali team. The RRR director said the 47-year-old is “very shy and introverted” and that finding a girl and approaching her parents would be “too much work for him”. Rajamouli correctly predicted Rana Daggubati would marry first, Daggubati wed Miheeka Bajaj on 8 August 2020.

On the same show, Daggubati suggested Katrina Kaif as a match for Prabhas, but the Baahubali star declined to answer. Prabhas has often been linked to co-star Anushka Shetty, though both maintain they are ‘just good friends’. In a separate interview with India Today Digital, Prabhas said he understands why fans keep asking about his wedding plans and does not get irritated by the questions.
All four outlets carry near-identical wire copy of the same Koffee With Karan anecdote, with greatandhra.com, thehansindia.com and siasat.com reproducing the Baahubali cast list verbatim. The Economic Times adds two original elements: Prabhas's own admission from a separate Film Companion interview that he is 'lazy, shy and can't meet people', and his comment to India Today Digital that wedding questions do not irritate him because they come from concern. These additions add depth, the actor's own voice and his reasoning, without contradicting the shared Rajamouli account. No outlet frames the story critically or politically. The coverage is uniformly neutral straight reporting, differing only in which supplementary quotes each outlet sourced independently.
