Rashmika Mandanna turned a year older today (April 5). The actress jetted off to an undisclosed location to celebrate her birthday with her husband and actor Vijay Deverakonda. The couple married on February 26 at the luxurious ITC Mementoes, located 25 km outside Udaipur.
"200 People Were Watching My First Onscreen Kiss"
In an earlier interview, Rashmika spoke about her first onscreen kiss in Geetha Govindam with Vijay Deverakonda.
Rashmika Mandanna said, "First time kiss onscreen was in Geetha Govindam. First time and all, you don't know how it is-it's with a co-actor. For me, a kiss and all is a very personal thing. It is a very intimate thing. Two hundred people were watching, and I was like, how? But I think it is the same for the co-actor also. Vijay was feeling the same thing as I was. So it was like, how do we do it?"
"It's a technical thing; it's who you do it with. At the end of the day, if the character needs it, then it's good. If they don't want to, then don't. In Geetha Govindam, they were a married couple, so after marriage, you do whatever you want to do. So that was my first kissing scene, and it was very shocking for me," she added.
The couple starred together in films such as Geetha Govindam and Dear Comrade.
Background
The couple recently marked one month of their wedding with a heartfelt post.
Vijay posted a series of photos from their wedding and sangeet ceremony, along with a BTS video from their grand reception in Hyderabad.
In his post, Vijay opened up about how special milestones shape life and leave lasting memories.
He wrote, "It's been a month :) There are a few big moments in all our lives; we will all reach those moments at some point and stand face to face with them, and before you know it, you would have passed through it :) but if you do it right, the memories from it will stay forever with you, bringing you and all joy and this I want to ensure always."
The actor also shared that as he and Rashmika return to work, he wanted to pause and express gratitude to the people who made their wedding unforgettable.
Rashmika also celebrated the moment and shared unseen photos from her wedding celebrations. In the caption, she wrote, "I can't believe it's been a month already. Being married felt like such a far-off thought, and now we've been married for a month... it's insane. But these women were my knights in shining armour through it all-from the point of wanting to get married to now. I will forever be extremely grateful. This is forever kind of love!"
