Tollywood superstar Dev and actress Rukmini’s closeness has been an ‘open secret’ in Tollywood for over a decade. They have repeatedly explained that their love story is different. But recent events have sparked fresh speculation about the nature of their relationship.

According to Tolipara’s close circle, there have been several disagreements between the two for the past few days. There were also questions about Dev’s closeness to another heroine. Even last year, Rukmini unfollowed Dev on Instagram! Although, later, she was seen with her lover on Dev’s birthday.

However, for the past few days, Rukmini has not been seen at Dev’s important events. Her absence was also noticeable at the special celebration event marking the 20th anniversary of the hero’s film career. She was not even seen at any screening of the controversial film ‘Raghu Dakat’ produced and starring Dev. Since then, rumors of a breakup between Dev and Rukmini have started among netizens.

Meanwhile, the actress recently returned to Kolkata from Mumbai for a short time to attend the inauguration of a Kali Puja. These days, her new address is Mumbai due to work. As soon as she set foot in Kolkata, journalists surrounded her. Why was she not seen at the special screening of ‘Raghu Dakat’?

Rukmini said, ‘Actually, I am out for work now. I have come for a day for Kali Puja. I will spend some time in Kolkata with my close friends. I have to leave for Delhi again tomorrow, it is my niece Amyra’s birthday.’

When the topic of not being by Dev’s side was brought up directly, she smiled mysteriously and said, “I’ll tell you one thing, keep looking for me.” On the other hand, Dev has previously opened up about the rumors surrounding their relationship.

During the promotion of ‘Dhoomketu’, he clearly said, ‘Those who are saying this (breaking up rumors), they don’t stay with me at night. So how do they know what is going on between me and Rukmini? I have been in a relationship for the last 12 years. I have never talked about it. So why do I have to be so accountable today?’
