Rashmika Mandanna–Vijay Deverakonda Wedding Live Updates: Newlyweds Share First Photos From Traditional South Indian Ceremony

Actor Nani re-shared Vijay Deverakonda’s post on X, writing, "Loads of love and congratulations to this beautiful couple. Wishing you an even more beautiful and blissful life together dear Vijay and Rashmika."

In his post, Anand reflected on the playful way fans used to shout “Vadina ela unaru?” — a Telugu expression roughly meaning “How’s the sister-in-law?” — whenever Rashmika appeared with Vijay in public. He admitted he never quite knew how to respond then, but today, as his brother married the woman adored by millions, everything made sense. Anand described gaining “the most positive and compassionate person” as his Vadina and prayed that the newlyweds would continue to smile together for “a lifetime.”

Vijay Deverakonda shared heartfelt post after grand wedding with Rashmika Mandanna. The caption 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." ,

Reports suggest that the road to the Udaipur wedding actually began with a very private engagement ceremony on October 3 last year.

The journey of 'Virosh' was long built on fan theories and eagle-eyed observations.

Despite constant media attention and rumours of dating in 2022, both chose to keep their love private. But th couple finally making it official just days before the wedding.

The chemistry between Vijay and Rashmika was first discovered on the sets of Geetha Govindam in 2018.

Interestingly, the newlyweds are set to collaborate for the third time in the upcoming film Ranabaali, directed by Rahul Sankrityan. This film, scheduled for release in late 2026, will be their first project together as a married couple.

While the Udaipur wedding is strictly private, Rashmika and Vijay will host a grand reception on March 4, 2026, at the prestigious Taj Krishna in Hyderabad. This event is expected to feature stars from the Indian film industry.

Photos of them sharing a comfortable bond surfaced years ago, but the relationship eventually fizzled out as Vijay’s stardom reached new heights. ,

This involves two distinct ceremonies on February 26 to celebrate Rashmika’s Kodava roots and Vijay’s Telugu background. Fans are eagerly awaiting glimpses of the traditional outfits.

Reports suggest the moment was filled with love and tears, symbolising acceptance and the passing of family legacy. 

Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda have chosen the ultra-luxurious ITC Mementos in Udaipur for their nuptials. Located roughly 25 kilometres outside the city, this stunning estate is nestled in the scenic Aravalli Range. Spread across an entire hill, the venue offers 117 private villas, a river, a lake, and even a private helipad.
