The personalised touch reinforced the emotional significance of the celebrations and reflected the couple’s appreciation for their supporters.

Just a day prior, the couple confirmed their wedding through matching notes on Instagram. The message read, “Our dearest loves… With so much love, you gave us a name. You called us 'Virosh'… We would like to name it — 'The Wedding of VIROSH'.” Their acknowledgment of fan support added emotional warmth to the announcement.
Volleyball and cricket matches followed the dinner. These friendly games brought together the couple’s families and friends, creating warm moments before the formal ceremonies.
The couple has been in Udaipur for the last three days, preparing for the grand yet private celebration. Surrounded by Aravalli hills, the venue offers the perfect backdrop for their dream wedding.
Stressing that everything is better when shared, he told Mana Stars: “Like food is better when you share it with someone or a moment is better when you share it with someone. Laughter is better when you share it with someone. So, everything is better when shared. You need to find the right person to share these things with. I’m quite a needy guy. I need to be taken care of.”
Soon after the post went live, many fans began asking the same question: What does ‘Virosh’ mean?

Vijay Deverakonda ‘looooooooves’ cheesecake
When he says he ‘looooooooves’ cheesecakes, he really means it. While in During a trip to Türkiye in 2023, Vijay Deverakonda was spotted indulging in a San Sebastian cheesecake, the burnished, crustless Basque that has the world’s heart. He dropped pictures of the cheesecake slathered in chocolate syrup. And guess what he is having with it? A classic cappuccino and chocolate croissants!Burgers, fries, and beer
Vijay’s burger game is proof that he is a full-on foodie. During his 2022 European vacation, the actor shared a glimpse of himself enjoying burgers. He was seen gorging on the juicy hamburgers paired with golden French fries, coleslaw, and a glass of Belgian beer! “Beerrrrs & Burrgerrrrs,” he captioned.Fans of Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna were treated to a sweet, candid moment during the promotions of Animal.

After years of speculation and quiet whispers, Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda are finally ready to tie the knot on February 26 in their long-awaited VIROSH wedding. The two have grown into some of the most celebrated and commercially reliable stars in Indian cinema today, each boasting an impressive list of hits and a fiercely loyal fan base. Their chemistry has already lit up screens in ‘Geetha Govindam’ and ‘Dear Comrade’, and their bond beyond films has kept fans excited for years. Yet, when it comes to comparing their financial influence from box-office appeal to personal fortunes, the story holds a few interesting contrasts.
When it comes to total box-office earnings, Mandanna holds a clear edge because of her involvement in major franchises like ‘Pushpa’. Her films, including the ‘Pushpa’ series and ‘Animal’, have together grossed thousands of crores worldwide, placing her among the most commercially successful female stars in India today.
On the other hand, Vijay’s career includes powerful and influential films such as ‘Arjun Reddy’. However, his movies haven’t yet touched the massive commercial level of consistent Rs 500 crore or Rs 1,000 crore blockbusters. His biggest box-office success so far continues to be ‘Geetha Govindam’.
Actress Rashmika Mandanna rang in the New Year in Rome with beau Vijay Deverakonda. Although rumours were rife of a wedding on the card, the actress herself teased fans with a heartfelt message, urging everyone to begin 2026 with love.
Rashmika took to her Instagram stories, where she shared a picture of herself. In the image, the actress is seen sitting inside a vehicle, smiling warmly at the camera. She is wearing large, black-framed glasses and a sweater. For the caption, she wrote: “Happiesttttt new year my loveliesssss!! I know I am late but just wanted to say let's all start the new year with love and gratitudeeeee!! I love you all so so much.”
In the clip, Vijay’s mother, Madhavi Deverakonda, shared her simple wish for her future daughter-in-law, saying she only hopes her son finds someone who loves him unconditionally and understands the demands of his hectic life in the film industry.
His father, Govardhan Rao, appeared equally relaxed about the matter, stating that the family has no concerns about caste or religion and only wants Vijay to marry for love.
The sangeet turned into a joyous celebration as the couple danced the night away with close friends and family members. What made the evening even more special was the deeply personal playlist — a musical throwback to their own cinematic journey together.
Songs from Geetha Govindam and Dear Comrade — films that cemented Vijay and Rashmika’s on-screen chemistry — were among the highlights of the night. As the familiar tunes played, guests cheered on, reliving the magic that first made them a fan-favourite pair.
The nostalgic mood continued with popular tracks like Kalyani Vachaa Vachaa and Inkem Inkem, adding warmth and sentiment to the celebrations.
However, the biggest crowd-puller of the evening turned out to be the viral Peelings track from Pushpa: The Rise. The moment the song began, guests flocked to the dance floor, transforming the sangeet into a full-blown high-energy party.

It is so cute.’ “See, Vijay and I have done so much work together too early in our careers. When we don't know how the industry is, and suddenly you work with like-minded people, you sort of become friends, and you have a lot of common friends. I have this gang in Hyderabad; he has this gang in Hyderabad. And we have a lot of mutual friends. It's like that. It's so cute when the whole world is like, ‘Rashmika and Vijay, that's cute.’”

The festivities reflect two distinct moods. Vijay’s posts portray a lively and relaxed start. Through his Instagram Stories, he shared a photo taken from behind a volleyball net, showing a group mid-game in a pool. The floating ball and silhouetted figures convey a sense of energetic camaraderie and effortless joy. Another frame featuring a volleyball net by the poolside, lush greenery and bright red drink cups further emphasised the easy-going atmosphere surrounding his side of the gathering.
In contrast, Rashmika’s visuals depict an evening steeped in elegant warmth. Her carefully framed dinner-table shot showcased a long, beautifully lit table decorated with blush lilies, green hydrangeas and fresh fruit elements including grapes and green apples. The customised Japanese menu card suggested a curated culinary experience designed with refinement and intention. The glow of surrounding lights added depth to the ambience, making the dinner look intimate and personalised. An embroidered detail on napkins stood out—the word “VIROSH,” symbolising the unity and identity the couple shares and now celebrates publicly.
The setting for the wedding, Mementos by ITC Hotels, Ekaaya Udaipur, serves as an ideal backdrop for a celebration that values both luxury and subtlety. Its tranquil environment aligns seamlessly with the couple’s preference for a wedding that is festive yet rooted in privacy.
Just a day earlier, the couple confirmed their marriage through a heartfelt note on Instagram. They wrote, “Before we made any plans… you called us ‘Virosh’… We would like to name it — 'The Wedding of VIROSH'.”
