PM Modi Blesses Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna on Their Wedding Day
It’s official. Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna — two of South Indian cinema’s biggest stars — are now husband and wife. The couple tied the knot on February 26, 2026, in what has quickly become the most talked-about celebrity wedding of the year. And among the many who sent their blessings was none other than Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who penned a special letter to the Deverakonda family for this joyous occasion.
PM Modi’s Letter: A Message Straight From the Heart
Prime Minister Modi sent a personal letter to Vijay Deverakonda’s parents, acknowledging the wedding invitation and expressing his warmest congratulations. In the letter, he wrote, “It is a pleasure to be invited by you to the wedding of Vijay and Rashmika to be held on 26 February 2026. Heartiest congratulations, and greetings to the Deverakonda and Mandanna families on this truly joyous and auspicious occasion.”
The PM didn’t stop at pleasantries. He drew from Indian tradition, referencing the sacred ritual of Saptapadi — the seven steps that husband and wife walk together — to convey just how significant this union is. He expressed hope that Vijay and Rashmika’s bond will be built on love, trust, and mutual respect.
‘This Chapter Will Outshine the Silver Screen’
Perhaps the most memorable lines in the letter were the ones that spoke directly to the couple’s identity as actors. Modi acknowledged that both Vijay and Rashmika have spent their careers stepping into other people’s stories — but this one is entirely their own.
He wrote, “Neither Vijay, nor Rashmika is new to scripts in their films. But this divinely scripted chapter of their real lives, filled with love and affection, will surely outshine the magic they have created on the silver screen.”
It’s a line that resonated deeply with fans, and for good reason. Both actors have given some of Indian cinema’s most memorable performances — Vijay Deverakonda with films like Arjun Reddy and Liger, and Rashmika Mandanna becoming a pan-India sensation with Pushpa and Animal. To have their real-life story described as something even greater than their on-screen work? That hit different.
The PM also added a warm personal blessing: “May the days, months and years to come be filled with shared dreams and their fulfilment. With thoughtfulness and love, may they share responsibilities, embrace each other’s imperfections, learn from each other’s strengths and journey through life as true partners.”
Fans and the Film Industry React
Since news of the wedding broke, social media has been flooded with congratulatory messages. Fans who had been shipping “VijRash” for years finally got their moment. Fellow actors and industry insiders have also been pouring in their wishes, with many calling this the most anticipated union in recent Telugu film history.
Wedding photos and videos are what fans are desperately waiting for now — and given how beloved both stars are across India, it’s safe to say the internet will have a full-on celebration the moment those images drop.
A New Chapter Begins
PM Modi’s letter summed it up beautifully: for two people who have lived inside countless fictional stories, their own real-life love story may just be the best one yet. As Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna begin this new journey together, the wishes of an entire nation — and its Prime Minister — are with them.
