- Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda married in a traditional Telugu and Kodava ceremony on February 26
- The couple kept their wedding highly private and shared exclusive pre-wedding moments with fans
- Vijay and Rashmika expressed emotional messages about their love on Instagram following the wedding
Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda got married in a traditional Telugu ceremony, followed by a Kodava wedding, on February 26 at ITC Mementos, Udaipur. Tight‑lipped during their eight‑year‑long romance, the couple opted for a “highly private” and intimate wedding away from media glare.
With their dreamy wedding pictures, Rashmika introduced her “Mr husband” to the world, while Vijay acknowledged that he had made his “best friend” his wife.
The one picture that stood out in the wedding album reminds the Internet of their viral wedding moment from their first on‑screen collaboration, Geetha Govindam (2018). Before their official wedding pictures were published, the Geetha Govindam still took the Internet by storm.
In the film still, Vijay Deverakonda is seen leaning towards Rashmika, who is seated on the floor, and tying a pustelu (an equivalent of a mangalsutra in Telugu) around her neck.
In their real‑life wedding picture, Vijay Deverakonda is seen leaning towards her and holding her hands.
What Vijay and Rashmika Shared on Instagram
An excerpt from Vijay's emotional message read: “One day, I missed her. Missed her in a way that made me feel like my day would've been better if she were around. Like my meals would've felt more wholesome if she were sitting across from me.”
Meanwhile, Rashmika expressed her love in these words: “Vijju, I am always short of words to describe the feelings I have for you!! I've always told you that!!
“But you know, suddenly all of my achievements, struggles, happiness, sadness, joy, and life—everything just makes a lot more sense now. It is because I have you—witnessing it all, being the biggest part of it all!”
