Rukmini is not by Dev’s side in Norway; Subhashree returns home to Raj

Tollywood superstar Deepak Adhikari, popularly known as Dev, is currently spending some private time amidst nature in the Arctic region. However, his long-time partner, actress Rukmini Maitra, is not with him; she is in Kochi, Kerala, occupied with work commitments. Is this distance purely professional, or is there something else behind it?

Dev’s film ‘Deshu 7’ was released during Durga Puja. Amidst its resounding success, Dev suddenly headed off for a vacation in Norway. The actor-producer has shared several photos from Tromsø—a city in the land of the midnight sun. Throughout this journey to the icy, far-northern Arctic, Dev appears to be entirely on his own.

Speculation has arisen on social media: is actress Rukmini Maitra with Dev? The answer, perhaps a bit disappointing for some, is no—she is currently in Kochi, Kerala, for work.

As netizens speculate about the distance between this celebrity couple, their separate destinations have fueled further rumors. Dev has shared several stunning and adventurous photos from his travels within the Arctic Circle.

In one of the images, Dev is seen standing in the open, surrounded by snow and mountains, hand-feeding reindeer—the iconic, large-antlered deer of the Arctic—from a bowl. Dressed in a dark grey jacket, black track pants, and sunglasses, the actor looks quite stylish.

The actor—famously known for his role in the film ‘Paglu’—also captured a moment standing by a fire pit, warming himself against the bone-chilling Arctic cold. In the background, one can spot a traditional Sámi *lavvu* (teepee-style tent) and a wooden cottage. Meanwhile, the promotion of the film 'Deshu7' has reignited discussions surrounding Dev and Subhashree’s past relationship. Notably, actress Rukmini has not mentioned the film even once on social media. Typically, following the release of a major film, Dev and Rukmini head abroad for a vacation together; however, Dev’s solo appearance in distant Tromsø, coupled with Rukmini’s presence in Kochi, has fueled speculation among fans about a potential breakup.

While many believe these separate trips are simply due to busy work schedules, fans continue to wonder whether a rift has developed in what has long been a rock-solid partnership.

On the other hand, once the promotional activities for 'Deshu7' concluded, actress Subhashree Ganguly returned to Raj. The celebrity couple was seen spending quality time with their family. On the day of Dashami, fans even caught a glimpse of Subhashree and Raj participating in the *sindoor khela* (a ritual involving vermilion) at the Kundu household.
