The long-standing rumors surrounding South Indian cinema’s most talked-about couple have finally culminated in a grand announcement. Actress Rashmika Mandanna has officially confirmed her marriage to actor Vijay Deverakonda. Dubbing their union as the “Wedding of Virosh,” the couple is set to tie the knot on February 26, 2026, marking a new chapter in their decade-long association.
The Official Announcement of Virosh
On Sunday, Rashmika Mandanna took to her Instagram stories to share a heartfelt note with her followers. The actress expressed her gratitude to the fans who coined the moniker “Virosh” long before the couple made their relationship public. The wedding invite, shared digitally, highlighted the deep emotional connection they share with their audience.
“Our dearest loves, before we made any plans, you were already there,” the invite read. The couple noted that the name “Virosh” was a gift from the fans, and they decided to honor this affection by naming their wedding ceremony after it. This move has sparked a wave of celebration across social media platforms, with the hashtag #ViroshWedding trending globally.
A Timeline of the Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda Wedding
The journey of the duo traces back to 2018 when they first shared the screen in the blockbuster hit Geetha Govindam. Their on-screen chemistry was so palpable that fans immediately began speculating about a real-life romance. They followed this success with Dear Comrade in 2019, further fueling dating rumors.
Despite numerous sightings at airports and shared vacation spots, both actors maintained a stoic silence regarding their private lives. The breakthrough for fans came in October 2025, when reports surfaced of a private engagement ceremony. While the actors themselves did not post pictures, Vijay’s management team later confirmed the news to national media outlets, setting the stage for the 2026 nuptials.
Wedding Preparations and Guest List Expectations
Sources close to the families suggest that the Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda wedding will be a blend of traditional values and contemporary elegance. While the exact venue remains a closely guarded secret, insiders hint at a destination wedding, possibly in Hyderabad or a serene coastal location in Karnataka, honoring Rashmika’s roots.
The guest list is expected to be a star-studded affair, featuring the crème de la crème of the Telugu, Kannada, and Hindi film industries. Given their widespread popularity across India, many prominent directors and co-stars are likely to attend the festivities scheduled for February 26.
Professional Milestones Amidst Personal Celebrations
Both actors have had an exceptionally busy professional calendar leading up to the wedding. Rashmika Mandanna was recently seen in the critically acclaimed film The Girlfriend, directed by Rahul Ravindran. She is also preparing for the release of Mysaa, a project directed by Rawindra Pulle that has already generated significant buzz.
Vijay Deverakonda, on the other hand, recently appeared in the high-octane drama Kingdom. Under the direction of Gowtam Tinnanuri, Vijay shared the screen with Satyadev and Bhagyashree Borse. Industry experts believe that the couple’s decision to marry now reflects a perfect balance between their peak professional careers and personal stability.
Impact on the Film Industry and Fan Engagement
The union of two “Pan-India” stars often shifts the dynamics of brand endorsements and collaborative projects. As a power couple, “Virosh” represents a massive market influence across South and North India. Their wedding is not just a personal milestone but a significant event for the Indian entertainment ecosystem.
Fans have already begun creating digital tributes, revisiting their favorite scenes from Geetha Govindam. The transparency with which they credited their fans for the “Virosh” title has strengthened the bond between the stars and their loyal “Rowdy” and “National Crush” fan bases.
