The long awaited moment has finally arrived for fans of Indian cinema. On February 26 2026 the beloved stars Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna officially transitioned from on screen favorites to real life partners. In a breathtaking celebration held in the scenic city of Udaipur the couple exchanged vows in a series of ceremonies that perfectly blended their rich cultural backgrounds. Known affectionately by fans as Virosh the duo has ended years of speculation with a wedding that was as intimate as it was grand.

A Fairytale Setting in the City of Lakes

The wedding festivities took place at the luxurious ITC Mementos Ekaaya resort nestled within the serene Aravalli hills. This exclusive venue provided the perfect backdrop for a private and secure celebration. To ensure the sanctity of their special moments the couple opted for a strict no phone policy for their guests. While the world waited for glimpses on social media the attendees enjoyed an unplugged experience surrounded by pristine lakes and lush greenery.

Honoring Heritage with Two Traditional Ceremonies

One of the most beautiful aspects of the Virosh wedding was the dedication to their respective roots. The couple chose to honor both of their families by performing two distinct wedding rituals on the same day.

The morning began with a traditional Telugu Hindu ceremony paying homage to Vijay’s heritage. The rituals were conducted during an auspicious mahurat around 10:10 AM where the couple took their vows in the presence of their closest family members. Later in the afternoon the atmosphere shifted to celebrate Rashmika’s Kodava ancestry from Coorg. For this second ceremony Rashmika made a stunning entry by walking down from the mountain slopes a moment that left many guests teary eyed.

From Reel Life Romance to Real Life Partners

The journey of Vijay and Rashmika began nearly eight years ago on the sets of their 2018 hit film Geetha Govindam. Their chemistry was so undeniable that fans immediately began shipping them together. They reunited a year later for the intense drama Dear Comrade which only fueled rumors of a secret romance.

Throughout the years the pair remained tight lipped about their relationship status often describing each other as best friends. However their frequent joint vacations and supportive social media posts gave away the secret long before the official announcement. In a heartfelt note shared just days before the wedding they credited their fans for the name Virosh stating that they chose to name their union The Wedding of Virosh in honor of the love they received from the public.

Star Studded Guests and Heartfelt Traditions

Despite the intimate nature of the event several high profile figures from the film industry were in attendance. Notable guests included directors Sandeep Reddy Vanga and Rahul Ravindran as well as actors Eesha Rebba and Ashika Ranganath. Even the Ambani family was spotted arriving in Udaipur to wish the couple well.

The pre wedding rituals were filled with personal touches including a cricket match dubbed the Virosh Premier League and a soulful Sangeet night where the decor featured a gallery of the couple’s favorite photos from their eight year journey. In a touching moment during the Sangeet Vijay’s mother Madhavi gifted Rashmika their family heirloom bangles welcoming her officially into the Deverakonda household.

What Is Next for the Newlyweds

As the celebrations in Udaipur conclude the couple is expected to head back to Hyderabad. They have planned a grand wedding reception on March 4 2026 at Taj Krishna where more of their colleagues from the film fraternity will gather to celebrate.

Professionally both actors have a busy year ahead. Fans are particularly excited for their upcoming period drama Ranabaali which is scheduled for release later this year. For now however the couple is taking a well deserved break to enjoy the first chapter of their married life.
