Looks like Vijay Deverakonda has introduced Rashmika Mandanna to a food combination she can’t get enough of! On the latest episode of Koffee With Karan, the couple got talking about cheese, and Rashmika revealed how Vijay got her hooked on the combination of Brie cheese and honey. And honestly, Karan Johar’s reaction was pretty much all of us.
Rashmika Mandanna-Vijay Deverakonda’s Go-To Cheese Combo
Rashmika shared that she was never really a cheese person. But that changed when Vijay introduced her to Brie cheese paired with honey. Recalling her first experience with the combination, she said, “It freaking blew my mind!”
She also revealed that the cheese conversation has followed her beyond the couch. After all the banter on the show, she said she would find herself being served cheese platters on flights she took. Talk about a food combination becoming a running joke!
If you’ve been following Koffee With Karan, you probably remember the viral cheese platter moment involving Vijay.
Back in Season 7, Sara Ali Khan and Janhvi Kapoor spoke about having a crush on the actor. Karan Johar jokingly asked them, “Why are you passing Vijay like he is some slice of cheese?” Janhvi’s playful suggestion to Sara to “have the cheese” turned the exchange into a viral moment.
When Vijay later appeared on the show with Ananya Panday, she joined in on the joke, asking, “Can I be on that platter?” Vijay, meanwhile, admitted he was scared about where the conversation was heading.
Now, with Rashmika bringing up her love for Brie and honey, cheese has once again found its way into the couple’s Koffee With Karan banter, albeit in a rather delicious way.
