Telugu cinema's most anticipated wedding finally became reality as actors Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda tied the knot on February 26, 2026, in a lavish ceremony at the luxurious ITC Mementos Udaipur. The much-loved couple, popularly known as "VIROSHA" by their fans, began their new journey together with intimate celebrations attended by close family and friends.

Wedding Venue and Date

The wedding took place at the exclusive ITC Mementos Udaipur, a luxury venue that provided the perfect backdrop for the star-studded nuptials. The ceremony was held on Thursday, February 26, 2026, marking the culmination of years of speculation and public affection for the couple.

Bridal and Groom Attire

Rashmika Mandanna stole hearts with her breathtaking bridal ensemble. For the main ceremony, she chose a custom creation by celebrated couturier Anamika Khanna, wearing a stunning rust-hued saree paired with a heavily embellished blouse featuring intricate golden accents. The saree featured a rich red-and-gold border that added depth and grandeur to her ensemble.

She completed her regal look with a soft beige veil that lent a delicate, ethereal charm to her silhouette. Rashmika elevated her appearance with an elaborate selection of traditional gold jewellery from Shree Jewellers – including layered ornate necklaces, statement baajubandhs, an intricate mathapatti, classic kadas, and oversized jhumkas.

For the evening Kodava ceremony, Rashmika will don a traditional Kodava-style saree, with the pleats at the back, honouring the groom's heritage. She is also expected to wear a special sari gifted by her mother-in-law, Madhavi Deverakonda.

Vijay Deverakonda complemented his bride with an unmistakably royal aura. He chose a classic ivory dhoti paired with a striking vermillion angavastram. The drape was intricately embroidered with forest and temple-inspired motifs – symbolic elements reflecting power, lineage and sacred architecture. Vijay embraced opulent gold jewellery, styling layered haars along with statement cuffs, a baajuband, a kamarbandh, earrings, and even an anklet.

Ceremony Details

The wedding featured two distinct ceremonies to honour both Telugu and Kodava traditions. The main ceremony followed Telugu Hindu rituals, while a second ceremony later in the evening adhered to Kodava traditions from Vijay's native Coorg.

According to insiders, the most emotional moment of the ceremony was when the couple exchanged garlands (varmala), leaving everyone teary-eyed. The viral photograph showing Vijay leading his new bride out of the ceremony, with his shawl still tied to her sari as they hold each other's little fingers, has drawn comparisons to mythological epics.

Relationship History

Rashmika and Vijay's journey from co-stars to soulmates has been one of Tollywood's most beloved love stories. Their on-screen chemistry first captivated audiences in the 2018 blockbuster "Geetha Govindam," where they became one of the most loved on-screen pairs in recent cinema history.

The film's popular song "Inkem Inkem" has been trending again as fans connect the dots between their reel-life chemistry and real-life romance. Their collaboration continued with "Dear Comrade," further solidifying their special bond that eventually blossomed into a real-life relationship.

Heartfelt Vows and Social Media Reactions

Both stars took to social media to share personalized notes alongside their wedding photographs. Vijay's emotional post read: "One day, I missed her. Missed her in a way that made me feel like my day would've been better if she were around. Like my meals would've felt more wholesome if she were sitting across from me. Like my workouts would've been more fun and less of a punishment if she were doing them with me. Like I needed her - just to feel that sense of home and calm, no matter where I was. So, I made my best friend… my wife. ❤️ 26.02.2026"

Rashmika expressed: "I've Become the Woman I Dreamt of Being," introducing Vijay as her husband and the man who taught her true love and peace. She shared how he encouraged her dreams, supported her freedom, and made her the woman she is today.

The couple has reportedly invited Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah to their wedding reception, which will be held in Hyderabad. Meanwhile, a top OTT platform is reportedly supporting the lavish wedding, covering luxury venue, hospitality, and logistics, with estimated expenses exceeding Rs 20 crore and discussions for exclusive streaming rights rumored at over Rs 30 crore.

Fans and celebrities alike have flooded social media with congratulatory messages, with many comparing the couple's wedding photos to mythological epics like "Shiv-Parvati" and "Ram-Sita" due to their divine and timeless aura.
