I’ve got you all a handsome maima: Rashmika Mandanna tells her extended family in Coorg

A month after their grand destination wedding in Rajasthan, Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda returned home to Coorg for a more rooted celebration with family and close friends. The couple, accompanied by Rashmika’s parents, Madan and Suma and Vijay’s parents, Madhavi and Govardhan Rao, arrived in Mysuru on April 5 before driving down to Virajpet, where Rashmika’s family home is located. On Monday evening, Rashmika’s parents hosted an intimate dinner at Serenity Hall in Virajpet, a venue owned by the family.

“The décor was simple and elegant, and Rashmika and Vijay walked in hand in hand. Both were extremely down-to-earth, mingling effortlessly and interacting with all the guests. Vijay was introduced to everyone and was gracious throughout. It was a proud moment for all of us who call Rashmika ‘nangada Modi’ (our girl),” said a guest. The couple later cut a layered cake, in keeping with local custom.




Rashmika, dressed in a traditional Kodava sari with a pathaak (thali) and kokke thaathi (customary jewellery), addressed the gathering in Kodava Thakk, thanking the community for their support and seeking blessings. “I’ve got you all a handsome maima (son-in-law),” she said with a smile, drawing loud cheers. Vijay, who also spoke a few lines in Kodava Thakk, rounded off the evening by expressing his eagerness to explore his wife’s homeland more deeply and learn about Kodava traditions.Get the latest entertainment updates from the Times of India, along with the latest Hindi movies, upcoming Hindi movies in 2026 , and Telugu movies.”
