'The Wedding of VIROSH’: The story behind Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna’s wedding title

The much-anticipated wedding of actors Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna now has an official title—The Wedding of VIROSH. The couple announced that the name which originated entirely from their fans will be used to represent their marriage celebrations.

In a heartfelt note they said the fan-created term has been part of their journey long before they personally acknowledged it. Their upcoming ceremony is scheduled for February 26, 2026, in Udaipur.

How fans created ‘VIROSH’ years before the wedding

Long before the actors spoke openly about marriage followers had put the title “VIROSH” on trending.

What began as a casual hashtag quickly transformed into a widely used identifier for the pair.

Fans used it to celebrate their onscreen chemistry, their offscreen appearances and the speculation that followed them. Over time, “VIROSH” became a name synonymous with the couple’s bond.

Earlier when a supposed wedding reception invite featuring Rashmika and Vijay surfaced online, social media erupted with excitement.

One fan wrote, "It’s finally happening. Our hearts are so full seeing this beautiful wedding card. From fan theories to a forever bond, the journey of #ViRosh is pure magic. Congratulations 2 d most beautiful duo @iamRashmika & @TheDeverakonda #RashmikaMandanna #VijayDeverakonda." Another user kept it short, saying, "This is everything !!! V & R."
