The long-standing rumors and fan theories have finally culminated in a beautiful reality as South Indian superstars Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna officially married on February 26, 2026. The couple, affectionately dubbed “ViRosh” by their global fanbase, chose the picturesque city of Udaipur, Rajasthan, for their intimate yet grand nuptials. The wedding took place at the luxurious ITC Mementos Ekaaya, nestled in the Aravalli hills, providing a breathtaking backdrop for a union that many have anticipated since their first on-screen collaboration in Geetha Govindam.
The wedding was a harmonious blend of traditions, honoring the diverse cultural backgrounds of both families. The day began with a traditional Telugu ceremony in the morning, where Vijay and Rashmika exchanged vows amidst Vedic chants. Later in the afternoon, a Kodava ceremony was held to celebrate Rashmika’s Coorgi roots. For the main rituals, Rashmika looked ethereal in a custom-designed rust silk saree with intricate temple motifs by Anamika Khanna, while Vijay complemented her in a regal ivory dhoti and a vermillion angavastram. Notably, both were seen sporting a small ‘kala teeka’ on their cheeks, a traditional South Indian gesture meant to ward off the evil eye.
The guest list was intentionally kept small to maintain privacy, featuring only close family and a few industry friends, including directors Sandeep Reddy Vanga, Tharun Bhascker, and actress Kalyani Priyadarshan. To ensure an intimate atmosphere, the couple enforced a strict “no-phone policy” during the ceremonies. Despite the privacy, the couple ensured their fans were part of the joy by releasing stunning official photographs on social media shortly after the rituals. Vijay shared a moving note stating, “I made my best friend… my wife,” while Rashmika expressed her excitement to start this new chapter with the man who “taught her what true love feels like.”
The festivities were not just about solemn rituals; they also included spirited events like the “ViRosh Premier League,” a friendly cricket match between the two families, and a Japanese-themed dinner. Following the Udaipur celebrations, the couple is expected to host a grand wedding reception on March 4, 2026, at Taj Krishna in Hyderabad, where the wider film fraternity is invited. As the “ViRosh” era officially begins, the couple is also set to reunite professionally in the upcoming film Ranabaali, proving that their partnership, both on and off-screen, remains stronger than ever.
