Star couple, Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda, will get married on Thursday in Udaipur. According to a report by Moneycontrol, the couple will have two wedding ceremonies on the same day — a traditional Telugu wedding in the morning following Deverakona's family rituals, followed by a Coorg (Kodava) ceremony for Mandanna's side.
Reportedly, the Telugu wedding began at 10 am, while the Kodava wedding rituals will start at 4 pm.
Several pictures offered a sneak peek into the Virosh wedding's dreamy haldi decor. They were shared by Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda on Instagram.
Reports by Zoom suggest that the “Virosh Wedding” will follow a primal theme, drawing inspiration from how weddings were celebrated decades ago. The focus is said to be on simple customs, meaningful rituals and an old-world aesthetic, with the couple aiming to begin their married life through a deeply cultural and intimate celebration.
Rumours indicate that Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna may marry twice to honour both their family traditions. The first ceremony, scheduled for the morning of February 26, is expected to follow Telugu Hindu rituals reflecting Vijay’s heritage. Later the same evening, the couple are reportedly set to take part in a Kodava ceremony as a tribute to Rashmika’s cultural roots.
Actor Kalyani Priyadarshan appears to be attending the wedding celebrations, offering fans subtle glimpses through social media posts. The Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra actor shared several selfies showcasing her festive looks, including a yellow saree, another traditional saree ensemble, and a black shimmery Indo-Western outfit, hinting at the ongoing celebrations without revealing the venue directly.
According to reports by India Today, Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna made a thoughtful gesture towards paparazzi covering their wedding by organising lunch and dinner at the venue. Sources said that although strict security measures kept photographers at a distance, the couple wished to acknowledge their efforts.
Meals have reportedly been arranged for members of the media from February 24 throughout the three days of festivities, ensuring they remain part of the celebrations despite limited access.
A touching video from Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna’s pre-wedding celebrations in Udaipur has gone viral on social media. The clip captures the couple walking hand-in-hand during their sangeet ceremony, surrounded by warm lights and festive décor.
Rashmika appears radiant in a traditional outfit, while Vijay matches her elegance with his understated presence. The simple yet intimate moment has resonated with fans online, further building excitement around their Tuesday night celebrations, with Vijay’s mother affectionately referring to her future daughter-in-law as “My darling Rushi.”
The wedding has attracted attention beyond cinema circles. Prime Minister Narendra Modi extended his congratulations to the couple, describing their union as the beginning of a “new, beautiful chapter” in their lives.
The wedding celebrations of Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna have taken on a lavish scale, with reports suggesting that the entire ITC Mementos property has been reserved exclusively for their families and guests. The resort, which features 117 rooms priced between ₹20,000 and ₹70,000 per night, is estimated to cost between ₹1 crore and ₹2.5 crore per day, including catering and hospitality arrangements.
On Wednesday morning, social media was flooded with images from the couple’s Haldi ceremony. Rashmika Mandanna shared a sneak peek showing pastel décor, turmeric bowls and rose petals arranged around traditional wooden stools. Paper flowers bearing the names “Rushie” and “Vijay” were visible in the background, hinting at the personal touches added by the couple.
Vijay Deverakonda also posted glimpses from the celebrations, while Rashmika shared a soft pastel-yellow table setting along with an illustration of their pets, Storm and Aura, riding together in a tiny yellow car — a detail fans quickly described as symbolic of their shared life.
With the Haldi ceremony now complete and the first photographs circulating widely online, anticipation continues to build as Udaipur prepares to host a wedding many fans see as a full-circle moment — the culmination of a love story that unfolded quietly in public view before finally being confirmed.
Filmmaker Sandeep Reddy Vanga was spotted arriving in Udaipur for the wedding festivities of Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna. The director kept his look casual, wearing a printed kurta paired with jeans as he joined other guests at the venue. Vanga shares a close professional association with the couple, having directed Vijay in Arjun Reddy and Rashmika in Animal, making his presence at the celebrations a notable moment for fans.
For nearly eight years, rumours about the pair’s relationship circulated widely after they starred together in successful Telugu films. Public appearances, social media interactions and industry speculation kept fans guessing, but the actors largely remained private about their personal lives.
That changed earlier this month when the couple released a joint statement confirming their wedding and acknowledging the nickname fans had given them.
“Our Dearest loves, before we made any plans… you called us ‘VIROSH’. So today, with full hearts, we name our coming together in your honour,” the note read.
