Vijay Deverakonda Shares Emotional First Post After Wedding With Rashmika Mandanna
Telugu film stars Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna officially tied the knot on Thursday in an intimate ceremony in Udaipur, marking one of the most talked-about celebrity weddings of the year. Shortly after the ceremony, Deverakonda shared his first Instagram post featuring moments from the celebrations along with an emotional note describing Mandanna as his best friend and partner.
The wedding, held at Mementos by ITC Hotels, Ekaaya Udaipur, was attended by close family members and select industry friends, reflecting the couple’s preference for a private celebration despite massive fan anticipation.
The pair’s relationship has long attracted attention due to their on-screen chemistry in films such as Geetha Govindam and Dear Comrade. Over the years, fan communities frequently speculated about their off-screen bond, leading to the popular nickname “VIROSH”, a combination of their names.
On February 22, the actors confirmed their wedding plans, announcing that the ceremony would be officially referred to as “The Wedding of VIROSH”, acknowledging the fan-coined identity that had followed them for years. Pre-wedding festivities included a Haldi ceremony, glimpses of which were shared by Deverakonda on social media, showcasing a minimal, tradition-focused setup.
Social media platforms were flooded with congratulatory messages from actors, filmmakers and fans following the wedding announcement and Deverakonda’s heartfelt post. Industry observers noted that the couple’s decision to keep the ceremony intimate contrasted with the scale of public interest, further amplifying online engagement.
Entertainment analysts say the marriage of two major pan-Indian stars is likely to strengthen their combined brand appeal, particularly as both actors continue expanding into multilingual projects. Rashmika’s recent Bollywood presence and Vijay’s evolving film slate have positioned them among the most recognisable young faces in Indian cinema.
Professionally, both actors have busy schedules ahead, with Vijay continuing work across Telugu and Hindi projects while Rashmika balances commercial films and character-driven roles. The wedding is expected to influence upcoming promotional campaigns, with audiences showing heightened curiosity about potential future collaborations between the couple.
Fans are also anticipating more wedding visuals and possibly a reception event, although no official confirmation has been shared by the actors’ teams.
