The new husband and wife didn’t wait long to share their first pictures, and the posts went viral in moments. Vijay wrote a touching message on Instagram, saying he’d come to the point where he didn’t just love Rashmika, but needed her in his life every day.
He finished by saying he’d made his best friend his wife – 26.02.2026. Rashmika introduced her husband to the world with a very enthusiastic tribute, saying Vijay had shown her what peace was, encouraged her to have bigger ambitions, and been with her through everything, good and bad.
Her message was full of happiness and thanks, and she called him the person who’d made life feel more meaningful. She added that marrying him felt like the start of the best party ever. The sincere, personal tone of both posts made the first wedding photos even more moving.
The wedding was at Mementos by ITC Hotels, Ekaaya Udaipur – a very nice hotel that’s famous for its great views and peaceful surroundings. In order to follow family customs, the celebrations included both Telugu and Kodava ceremonies, and showed off the couple’s background. According to what people are saying, the Telugu wedding ceremony was at 10:10 in the morning.
Kodava traditions were planned for the evening, with a moment at sunset to follow the customs Rashmika was raised with. The whole event was kept very private, and only close family and friends were there.
The couple were happy to use the nickname ‘Virosh’ that fans had given them. It first became popular when Geetha Govindam came out, and it stuck as rumours about them dating started. In their matching wedding announcements, they recognised the name and called their celebration the wedding of Virosh.
This gesture to their fans added a fun, shared aspect to an event that was otherwise kept very private. It also linked their real-life milestone to the chemistry on screen which first made audiences – from all places – like them.
Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda first appeared in a film together in 2018’s Geetha Govindam, which was a big success and turned their partnership into something people talked about. The next year, they were in Dear Comrade again, and rumours of a romance away from the cameras got even stronger.
For almost eight years, they didn’t say what their relationship was in public, even though people started to say a few months ago that they were quietly engaged. That silence ended with a simple statement which quickly took over social media: they were a couple, and now, they were married.
The couple gave little, carefully chosen hints about their celebrations, rather than a full reveal.
One event, called the Virosh Premier League, was based on friendly competition. Vijay’s ‘Stories’ showed guests in the air during an enthusiastic pool volleyball game, with a relaxed arrangement of plants, a net over the water, and red plastic cups.
Rashmika’s previews changed the mood to something elegant and intimate. She shared a dinner setting lit by gold, with pale pink lilies, green hydrangeas, grapes, and apples on a long table. A special menu suggested a Japanese meal, showing the attention to detail and the desire to treat their guests.
Vijay’s brother, Anand Deverakonda – who is also an actor – gave Rashmika a warm welcome as his Vadina in a post on social media. He remembered that fans had called her Vadina for years, and said that today, the title finally felt right.
His message wished the couple a lifetime of happiness, adding to the obvious joy of the family. The style was as good as the emotion. Rashmika chose an orange silk sari with detailed gold work, temple jewellery, layers of necklaces and matching bangles.
She wore her hair down and decorated with flowers, looking like classic South Indian brides. Vijay matched her in a traditional veshti and angavastram, with simple gold accessories. Together, they looked refined and showed their culture.
Every picture from the first wedding photos showed how easy, warm, and happy they were – so much so that they didn’t need captions. As the Virosh wedding is the thing everyone on social media is talking about, it also ends a long period of guessing.
For the fans of Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda, these first photos are more than just images: they are a promise of a new start, quietly celebrated and beautifully shared.
