Some love stories don’t begin with grand confessions. They begin quietly. On film sets. Between takes. During long conversations that slowly turn into comfort. The story of Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna feels exactly like that. After months of speculation about their relationship, engagement rumours, and wedding whispers, the two finally confirmed that they are getting married. Through a heartfelt note to fans, they announced the “Wedding of VIROSH.” The couple is all set to tie the knot on February 26, 2026.
Before they step into forever, let’s revisit how it all began.
2017: The Beginning Of Vijay Deverakonda And Rashmika Mandanna
Their first known meeting happened during the making of Geetha Govindam. They began shooting in 2017, shortly after Rashmika had called off her engagement to Rakshit Shetty.
On screen, Vijay Deverakonda played Vijay Govind, while Rashmika portrayed Geetha Kanuganti. Their chemistry did not feel forced. It flowed naturally. Audiences noticed instantly.
The film became a commercial success. But beyond the box office numbers, it was their pairing that stayed with people. Reel magic had clearly happened.
2019: Dear Comrade And Growing Rumours
The duo reunited for Dear Comrade in 2019. It is rare for actors to collaborate again within such a short span. But their dynamic demanded another chapter.
This time, the emotional intensity was deeper. Their off-screen camaraderie during promotions caught everyone’s attention. Interviews felt warm. Comfortable.
Soon, rumours began following them everywhere. For many fans, this was not just another film release. It felt like the beginning of something real.
2020–2022: Secret Vacations And Public Silence
Speculation only grew stronger in the following years. Fans began connecting dots. Similar holiday backdrops. Identical vacation timings. Dinner sightings.
Yet both actors stayed firm. They maintained that they were just friends. Rashmika even said she was too early in her career for anything serious.
They never fueled the rumours. They never publicly dismissed them either.
But the comfort between them remained visible.
2023: The Viral “What’s Up Re?” Moment
During promotions for Animal, Rashmika was asked to call Vijay while co-star Ranbir Kapoor stood beside her.
When he answered, he casually said, “What’s up re?”
The internet erupted.
Rashmika blushed and informed him that he was on loud speaker. That tiny, unscripted moment sent fans into celebration mode. It felt real. Unfiltered.
For many, that was confirmation without a statement.
2024: Subtle Hints, Stronger Bond
Though they still did not officially confirm their relationship, the hints became harder to ignore. They supported each other’s projects more openly. They spoke warmly in interviews. They seemed more relaxed discussing each other indirectly.
It felt less guarded. More assured. Their bond appeared stronger than ever.
2025: Engagement Buzz And Public Display Of Affection
Reports soon surfaced that the two had gotten engaged at Vijay’s home in Hyderabad. It was said that an intimate ceremony was held on October 3, 2025, with only family members present.
Rashmika was later spotted wearing a new sparkler on her ring finger, adding fuel to the speculation.
Then came a moment that stunned everyone. During an appearance for The Girlfriend, Vijay suddenly grabbed the hand of his lady love and dropped a sweet kiss. It marked his first public display of affection.
The internet lost its mind. Fans cheered loudly for “VIROSH.”
Soon after, the couple travelled to Rome with friends and featured in each other’s social media updates. Before that, Rashmika had flown to Sri Lanka for what many believed was her bachelorette celebration. She also wrapped up her filming commitments, including Cocktail 2.
Everything pointed toward one thing. Wedding bells.
2026: The Wedding Of VIROSH
Rumours of a February wedding gained momentum when an invitation card surfaced online. It revealed that the ceremony would take place in Udaipur, attended only by close friends and family.
A grand reception is expected to follow in Hyderabad on March 4, 2026, for their colleagues and industry friends. And then, finally, came the official confirmation.
The couple announced their wedding through a heartfelt note, naming it the “Wedding of VIROSH,” honouring the fans who gave them that name. Security around the venue is heightened. Excitement is at its peak. This Thursday, they will officially begin their new chapter together.
