Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna wedding: Revisiting the ‘Virosh’ love story in pictures

As Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna prepare to marry on February 26 in Udaipur, excitement around their relationship has reached a peak. The couple recently confirmed their wedding on social media, delighting fans who have long referred to them as “Virosh.” Their journey from co-stars to life partners has unfolded over several years, largely away from the public eye. Here is a look back at how their bond evolved from rumours to reality.

Their story began on the sets of the 2018 Telugu blockbuster ‘Geetha Govindam’, where their sparkling on-screen chemistry instantly caught attention. Audiences loved their pairing, and whispers of an off-screen romance soon followed. The duo reunited the next year for ‘Dear Comrade’, and their intense performances only strengthened speculation about a real-life connection. Around this period, it was widely believed that Vijay supported Rashmika through her breakup and cancelled engagement with Rakshit Shetty.

In 2022, Vijay appeared on the talk show Koffee with Karan alongside Ananya Panday while promoting ‘Liger’. When asked about his relationship status, Ananya quipped, “I feel like he is in a Rash (rush) to meet Mika sync. Get it?” The playful remark fueled speculation that the rumours were not entirely baseless. A year later, during promotions for ‘Animal’, Ranbir Kapoor encouraged Rashmika to call Vijay on stage. He picked up immediately and said, “What’s up, re?” Embarrassed, she responded, “You're on speaker and everyone's listening.” The candid exchange delighted fans and further hinted at their closeness.

Over the following years, the pair continued to spark dating rumours through coordinated public outings and suspected joint holidays. Though they rarely posted photos together, fans noticed identical backdrops in their individual pictures. By 2024, both stars admitted in separate interviews that they were not single, without naming each other. Their chemistry was unmistakable when they served as Grand Marshals at the 43rd India Day Parade in New York on August 17, 2025, celebrating India’s Independence Day. Reports soon surfaced that they had quietly gotten engaged at Vijay’s Hyderabad home on October 3, 2025, in the presence of close family members.

At the success celebration of Rashmika’s film ‘The Girlfriend’, Vijay made a rare appearance to support her. During the event, he surprised attendees by kissing her hand, a gesture widely seen as confirmation of their romance. Around the same time, Rashmika was also spotted wearing what appeared to be an engagement ring, though she remained silent about it.Also See: Rashmika Mandanna, Vijay Deverakonda drop gorgeous FIRST PICS as husband and wife: 'The man who taught me what true love feels like' - See inside​
