Anushka Shetty Was Rumored to Be Prabhas' Wife
For years, Prabhas was romantically linked to Indian actress Anushka Shetty. The rumors doing the rounds were that the alleged couple was set to tie the knot following the release of one of Prabhas' projects, and the two movie stars were going to buy a house in Los Angeles. However, in 2019, Prabhas shot those allegations down and said:
"Anushka and I are very good friends, but if there was something more, wouldn't someone have spotted us together in the last two years?"

Shetty was born on November 7, 1981, in Mangalore, Karnataka, India. Despite coming from humble beginnings, the actress's talent in front of the camera saw her become a beloved star known for her roles in "Vikramarkudu," "Lakshyam," "Swagatam," "Souryam," and "Chintakayala Ravi."
Before kickstarting her career as an award-winning actress, Shetty—who changed her name to Anushka as she was embarrassed by her real name, Sweety—was a yoga instructor who taught sessions in Mumbai.

Kriti Sanon Was Also Rumored to Be Prabhas' Wife
Prabhas has also faced speculation of a possible romance between him and Bollywood star Kriti Sanon for years. After he took to Instagram to celebrate Sanon's birthday in 2021, the two actors also walked hand-in-hand at a public event.
Reports claimed Prabhas and Sanon had been together for years and had gotten engaged while on vacation in the Maldives. However, Prabhas' team rubbished the news, revealing:
"Prabhas and Kriti are just friends. The news about them getting engaged is not true."
Before venturing into Bollywood, Sanon was an engineer. Now, she is a famous actress known for her roles in "Bareilly ki Barfi" in 2017, "Dilwale" in 2015, and "Lukka Chuppi" in 2019. More recently, the actress also starred in the chart-topping Netflix project, "Mimi," where she plays a surrogate.
Prabhas Plans to Announce Any Future Wedding Plans
In March 2022, Prabhas revealed that he would remain with Robert Pattinson, Harry Styles, and Zac Efron on the list of successful actors who are not married. "Now, it's no plans," he answered when asked about any marriage plans, despite how unhappy it made his mother, Prabhas humorously added.
Although he has yet to send out save the dates, Prabhas revealed that love still means a lot to him—from romantic love to the love of his mother and the love of his fans.
However, Prabhas shared that he intended to let his fans know when the right time to say "I do" had arrived. "When I have an answer to this question, I will definitely make an announcement," he said.
