Celebrating the Wedding of VIROSH

The couple, who first starred together in the 2018 hit Geetha Govindam, had only recently confirmed their relationship. In a nod to their dedicated fanbase, they officially branded the ceremony "The Wedding of VIROSH," a portmanteau created by fans years ago.

For the morning Telugu ceremony, Rashmika wore a traditional rust and gold silk saree, while Vijay opted for a white dhoti and matching dushala. A second ceremony held in the evening honoured Rashmika’s Kodava roots, featuring a stunning entry where the bride reportedly walked down from a mountain path to join the groom.

From On-Screen Duo to Life Partners

The nuptials follow a long-guarded journey that began on film sets nearly eight years ago. Following the ceremony, both actors shared matching photos on their official handles with personal notes. Vijay reflected on realising he "needed her" to feel a sense of home, while Rashmika introduced Vijay as the man who taught her "what true love feels like."

The Udaipur festivities included a "Virosh Premier League" cricket match and a sangeet where the couple reportedly danced to their famous track, "Inkem Inkem Inkem Kaavaale". A Fairytale in Udaipur: Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda Confirm ‘VIROSH’ Wedding, Share First Photos After Marriage (View Posts).
