Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna are officially married! The Wedding of VIROSH took place on February 26, 2026, at ITC Mementos, Udaipur, with a Telugu Hindu ceremony and Kodava ritual. From Geetha Govindam co-stars to husband and wife — India’s most beloved couple made it official. Grand Hyderabad reception on March 4, 2026. Congratulations, VIROSH
On February 26, 2026, India held its breath — and then collectively burst into happy tears. Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna, two of the biggest names in Indian cinema, officially tied the knot in a breathtakingly beautiful ceremony in the Aravalli hills of Udaipur. The wedding they named — with the most touching gesture imaginable — “The Wedding of VIROSH.”
VIROSH. The fan-coined name that blended their identities long before they ever confirmed theirs to the world. When Vijay and Rashmika announced their wedding on February 22, they didn’t just share a date and venue. They dedicated the entire occasion to the fans who had loved them into that name. “You were already there. You gave us a name. So we name our coming together in your honour,” they wrote. The internet wept — beautifully.
A Love Story Seven Years in the Making
It started in 2017 on the sets of Geetha Govindam — director Parasuram’s romantic drama that became a generation-defining Telugu blockbuster. Vijay and Rashmika had undeniable chemistry on screen, but behind the cameras, something quieter and more real was taking shape. They reunited in Dear Comrade in 2019, stayed private for years through endless speculation, and let their love story unfold entirely on its own terms. No PR announcements, no managed leaks — just two people choosing each other, privately, until the day they were ready to tell the world.
The Wedding — Two Cultures, One Beautiful Day
At ITC Mementos (Ekaaya), 25 km outside Udaipur, the celebrations unfolded across two ceremonies. The morning brought a traditional Telugu Hindu wedding — Rashmika made her bridal entry walking down the mountain to reach Vijay, in traditional silk, at 10:10 AM. The evening honoured her roots with a Kodava (Coorgi) ceremony, equal in beauty and reverence. Around 100 close family and friends — Vijay personally flew in 50+ guests — witnessed it all.
The pre-wedding celebrations were equally magical. A sangeet where the couple danced to Inkem Inkem Inkem Kaavaale. A Haldi ceremony set on rose petals, where Vijay’s mother gifted Rashmika heirloom bangles. A cricket match called the VIROSH Premiere League. Even Kaju Katli boxes sent to the waiting paparazzi — because that’s just who these two are.
The Caption That Said Everything
When Vijay posted his wedding photographs, he didn’t write a celebrity caption. He wrote: “So, I made my best friend… my wife. 26.02.2026.” Rashmika simply introduced him as “my husband.” Two words. Years of meaning.
Prime Minister Modi sent a personal congratulatory letter to the Deverakonda family. Geetha Govindam producer Bunny Vasu called it “My #GeethaGovindam — watching you both choose each other forever.”
Their grand Hyderabad industry reception follows on March 4, 2026. Their next film together, Ranabaali, releases September 11, 2026 — their first as husband and wife.
Congratulations, VIROSH. Some love stories deserve exactly the ending they get.
