# Vijay Deverakonda nap photo with parents goes viral 2026-08-19T16:32:07+00:00 | Entertainment | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets Vijay Deverakonda shared a photo on Instagram of himself taking an afternoon nap between his parents, Govardhan Rao and Madhavi Deverakonda, after his shoot was cancelled due to rain. The Times of India reports that the actor captioned the post, describing the recovery as '1000%'. The photo credit was given to his wife, actress Rashmika Mandanna. Telugucinema.com adds that Rashmika commented on the post, jokingly demanding credit and teasing that Vijay only praised her photography to avoid her 'puppy eyes'. The couple married in February 2025 and will appear together in the upcoming period drama 'Ranabaali', which is reportedly inspired by real events from the 1850s that the British allegedly misrepresented in history. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Both outlets report the same feel-good celebrity story without conflict.
