Actors Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda have officially confirmed their wedding, delighting fans across the country. The much-adored pair took to social media to share the news and revealed a heartfelt detail — their big day will be titled “The Wedding of VIROSH,” a tribute to the name lovingly created by their supporters.
The announcement has sparked a wave of celebration online, with fans praising the couple for acknowledging the bond they share with their audience.
‘The Wedding of VIROSH’: A Name Born From Fans
In a deeply emotional note shared on their social media platforms, Rashmika and Vijay explained the significance of the name “VIROSH.” The term, which blends their names, was coined by fans years ago when speculation about their relationship first began circulating.
The couple clarified that the name was not designed by planners or rooted in tradition. Instead, it represents years of admiration, affection and unwavering support from their followers.
In their joint message, they wrote:
“Our dearest loves,
Before we made any plans,
before we chose anything for ourselves —
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.
We would like to name it —
‘The Wedding of VIROSH’.
Thank you for holding us with so much love.
You are a part of us — always.
Biggest hugs and full love!”
The heartfelt note quickly went viral, drawing emotional reactions from fans who have followed their journey since their first on-screen appearance together.
Intimate Ceremony With No Media Access
According to details shared, the wedding will be a private affair attended only by family members and close friends. The couple has reportedly chosen to keep the event away from media glare to maintain intimacy and personal space on their special day.
Speculation about their wedding gained momentum recently after an alleged wedding invitation surfaced online. The card suggested that Rashmika and Vijay would tie the knot on February 26, 2026, in an intimate ceremony, followed by a grand reception in Hyderabad on March 4.
The text on the circulated card mentioned their desire to celebrate with loved ones who have supported them throughout their journeys. While the couple did not directly address the leaked card, their official confirmation has now put an end to months of rumours.
Reports indicate that the wedding ceremony is expected to take place in Udaipur, a destination known for its royal charm and picturesque venues.
From Co-Stars to Life Partners
Rashmika and Vijay first shared screen space in the romantic hit Geetha Govindam, a film that became a major success and established their on-screen chemistry as one of the most loved in Telugu cinema. They later reunited in Dear Comrade, further strengthening their popularity as a pair.
Over the years, their off-screen camaraderie, frequent holiday sightings and social media interactions fueled dating rumours. Despite ongoing speculation, both actors consistently maintained that they were “just friends.”
In past interviews, Rashmika has described Vijay as a “blessing” in her life, acknowledging the emotional support he provided during challenging phases. Their bond, while kept private, remained evident to fans who closely followed their journeys.
Last year, reports surfaced claiming the couple had an intimate engagement ceremony in Hyderabad. While neither confirmed those reports at the time, their wedding announcement has now validated long-standing speculation about their relationship.
Career Highlights
On the professional front, Rashmika was last seen in the romantic drama The Girlfriend, which received positive reviews and performed steadily at the box office. Known for her versatility and pan-India appeal, she continues to be one of the most sought-after actresses in the industry.
Vijay, meanwhile, recently appeared in the action film Kingdom, where he showcased a rugged new avatar. With several projects in the pipeline, both actors are balancing flourishing careers alongside their personal milestone.
A Wedding Fans Have Waited For
For years, the pairing affectionately called “Virosh” existed largely in the imaginations of fans. Now, with the couple officially embracing the name for their wedding, supporters feel included in a deeply personal moment.
As the countdown to February 26 begins, anticipation continues to build around what many are calling the wedding of the year. While the ceremony itself may remain private, the emotional connection shared between the couple and their fans ensures that “The Wedding of VIROSH” will be celebrated far beyond the venue walls.
