Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna's wedding festivities are over, but they continue to dominate headlines. Actor-producer Yash Rangineni shared some unseen pictures on his Instagram feed a day ago, where Vijay and Rashmika are seen paying homage to the actor's maternal grandparents' memory in Rakonda village, Telangana.
In other pictures, Vijay and Rashmika are seen spending quality time with other family members and taking part in post-wedding rituals. They were joined by Vijay's mother, Madhavi, and brother, Anand.
Sharing the pictures, Yash Rangineni wrote, "The world sees the flamboyance. I see the humility—the side I cherish most. Beyond the glitz and applause, he remains rooted in values, returning to our village #Rakonda to bow his head and seek his maternal grandparents' blessings."
On Monday (March 2), the couple of the moment performed their gruhapravesam (house-entering ceremony) and Satyanarayana Vratam puja at their new home in Vijay's ancestral village Thummanpeta, Telangana.
In a viral video, villagers are seen welcoming the newlyweds. Rashmika's sister, Shiman Mandanna, and Vijay's brother, Anand Deverakonda, accompanied the couple as they waited for the rituals to begin.
They were welcomed at their new home with folk dance and music, as numerous villagers turned out for the ceremony.
A traditional aarti was performed, and a woman took their dishti (nazar) as they entered the new home.
