Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna pre-wedding festivities had K-drama inspired cake, Vijay's Gangam Style dance and more

The pre-wedding festivities of Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda opened on a warm and intimate note, setting the tone for a deeply personal wedding. Held ahead of their traditional Andhra ceremony on February 26 at ITC Momentos in Udaipur, the celebrations were attended only by close family members and dear friends. Not wanting to throw a huge ceremony, the couple chose to highlight important moments from their lives. Cultural facts, film allusions, and references to their favorite things made this day unforgettable and very special from the first minutes of the marriage celebrations. As reported by India Today, the opening night was themed around K-drama, a clear reference to Rashmika’s fondness for Korean pop culture. The special cake for the night, fashioned after popular Korean dramas, was the main attraction for all. The atmosphere, decor, and theme music were all set to K-drama to give the impression of a new-age celebration. The nuances of decorations and themes were decided based on the couple’s taste rather than the scale of the celebration and the kitsch factor.The most memorable moment came when Vijay Deverakonda surprised everyone with a lively performance of “Gangnam Style” by PSY. The unexpected dance was meant for Rashmika, but it quickly turned into a joyful group celebration as friends and family joined in. People whooping and dancing around defined the pre-wedding events. Guests later mentioned that the performance was totally fun, emotional, and a legendary representation of Vijay.Also See: Rashmika Mandanna, Vijay Deverakonda drop gorgeous FIRST PICS as husband and wife: 'The man who taught me what true love feels like' - See inside The party continued with a uniquely personalised Antakshari game.

Teams revisited romantic melodies and energetic dance tracks linked to key milestones in their lives. The winning group received a luxury hamper, but the real prize was the nostalgia and bonding that the night created.
