Eight years of stolen glances, whispered rumours, and fan theories — and it’s finally, beautifully happening. Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda celebrated their Sangeet ceremony last night in Udaipur, just one day before their much-anticipated wedding on February 26. And if the details trickling out are anything to go by, the night was nothing short of magical.
Vijay’s Mother Madhavi Makes It Official With A Timeless Gift
The most talked-about moment of the evening wasn’t a performance or a dance number — it was a quiet, deeply personal gesture. Vijay Deverakonda’s mother, Madhavi Deverakonda, presented Rashmika Mandanna with traditional heirloom bangles during the Sangeet. A source quoted by India Today described the moment as one of acceptance and love: the bangles weren’t just jewellery, they were a family’s way of saying welcome home.
It’s the kind of moment that doesn’t need a filter or a reel — it speaks entirely for itself.
Groomsmen Brought The House Down
While the heirloom moment tugged at heartstrings, Vijay’s groomsmen made sure the energy in the room didn’t dip for a second. They stormed the stage with a high-octane performance on a popular track from Vijay’s “Rowdy” brand universe — the kind of number that has mass appeal baked right into its DNA.
According to a Mid-Day report, the act was electrifying, promising exactly the kind of celebration you’d expect from the inner circle of one of Telugu cinema’s biggest stars.
The Virosh Wedding: A Celebration Built Around Two Cultures
The Sangeet is just the beginning. Today, February 25, Rashmika and Vijay are expected to celebrate their Haldi and Mehendi ceremonies. Then comes February 26 — The Wedding of Virosh, as the couple has officially titled their big day.
In a thoughtful nod to both their roots, the wedding will reportedly be held in two parts. The morning ceremony will follow traditional Telugu Hindu rituals, honouring Vijay’s heritage. Come evening, the celebrations shift to a Kodava ceremony, reflecting Rashmika’s cultural identity. Two rituals, two communities, one love story.
PM Modi’s Blessing Sets The Tone
In a moment that underlined just how significant this union is, Prime Minister Narendra Modi — who was personally invited to the wedding — extended his heartfelt blessings to the couple. His note, shared by Vijay’s team, was warm, eloquent, and surprisingly personal.
Modi invoked the spirit of sakha saptapada bhava — the idea that having walked seven steps together, the couple become friends for life. He also drew a charming parallel to their screen lives: “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.”
That might just be the most poetic wedding blessing we’ve heard in a long time.
The Build-Up Has Been Just As Memorable
The pre-wedding festivities in Udaipur have given fans plenty to smile about already. Earlier this week, the couple arrived separately with their respective tribes and quickly settled into celebration mode. They played a fun cricket match — cheekily named the Virosh Premiere League — and shared candid glimpses on social media. A viral video from the venue also gave fans a peek at the decor, which featured unseen loved-up pictures of Rashmika and Vijay from over the years.
It’s been a wedding week that feels as cinematic as any of their films — just more real, and infinitely more personal.
The Big Day Is Almost Here
All roads lead to February 26. As Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda prepare to make it official, the excitement — both in Udaipur and across the internet — is palpable. Stay tuned; the best chapter of Virosh is just getting started.
