💍 It’s Official: ‘The Wedding of VIROSH’ Announced

After years of fan speculation and internet buzz, Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda have officially confirmed they are getting married — putting an end to long-standing rumours about their relationship. The announcement was made on 22 February 2026 through a heartfelt message shared by both actors on social media.

The couple revealed that they will call their union “The Wedding of VIROSH” — a name lovingly created by fans by blending parts of both their names. In their joint note, they addressed their supporters as “Our Dearest loves” and explained that the fan-coined identity has been part

of their journey long before any wedding plans were devised.

“Before we made any plans…you were already there. With so much love, you gave us a name. You called us ‘VIROSH’. So today — with full hearts — we name our coming together in your honour. Thank you for holding us with so much love. You are a part of us — always.” 

The message struck an emotional chord across social platforms, with fans flooding comment sections with congratulations, love and joy.

📅 Wedding Date & Location

According to confirmed reports, the couple’s wedding ceremony is set for 26 February 2026 in Udaipur, Rajasthan. The decision to host the wedding in a scenic, heritage city aligns with years of destination wedding rumours.

The celebration is expected to be an intimate, private event attended by close family and friends rather than a large star-studded affair. Security has reportedly been stepped up around the event location to ensure privacy, and only a limited guest list — estimated around 100 people — is expected.

🎉 Pre-Wedding Rituals & Celebrations

Sources close to the couple say that pre-wedding festivities are likely to begin a few days before the ceremony:

• 24 February: Mehendi and sangeet ceremonies

• 25 February: Haldi ritual

• 26 February: Wedding day proper

• Post-Wedding: Film industry reception events said to follow later in Hyderabad and potentially Mumbai, allowing colleagues and friends from cinema to join the celebrations.

Despite their immense stardom, the couple has decided to keep most details subdued — with strict privacy and no public livestreams announced so far — even turning down large commercial offers for exclusive wedding footage or video distribution, according to reports.

❤️ A Relationship Years in the Making

Rashmika and Vijay’s relationship has fascinated fans for years. The duo first met and worked together in the blockbuster Geetha Govindam (2018) and later reunited in Dear Comrade (2019) — films that showcased their on-screen chemistry and sparked widespread romance rumours.

While neither spoke openly about their personal lives for a long time, they maintained a close bond in public appearances. Reports suggest they were quietly engaged in October 2025 in Hyderabad among family before making the broader wedding announcement now.

🌐 Fan Reaction and Social Media Buzz

Since the announcement, social media has been abuzz with trending hashtags, congratulations, memes, and heartfelt reactions from fans across India and internationally. Many have noted that the choice of the wedding name “VIROSH” — born from fan-made culture — makes the celebration feel personal and shared, rather than purely celebrity-driven.
