Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda Tie the Knot in Traditional Andhra Ceremony


Actors Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda are officially husband and wife.

The couple got married in a traditional Andhra ceremony at around 8 am on Thursday, February 26. The intimate wedding was attended by family members, close friends, and a few members of the Telugu film industry.

After dating for nearly seven years, Rashmika and Vijay have taken the next step in their relationship. Throughout their courtship, the duo remained guarded about their personal lives, even as speculation about their relationship frequently made headlines.

The pre-wedding festivities began on February 24 with what was playfully called the “Virosh Premiere League,” a friendly sports event involving family and friends. Reports suggest Vijay’s team won the match, while Rashmika’s team claimed victory in a lively musical chairs round. The celebrations continued with a colourful sangeet evening, featuring performances by the bride and groom. A special highlight was a surprise performance by Vijay’s mother, Madhavi, who reportedly gifted Rashmika heirloom bangles as a symbolic gesture of acceptance.

On February 25, the couple celebrated their haldi and mehndi ceremonies in the presence of loved ones. Rashmika and Vijay shared vibrant glimpses from these ceremonies, delighting fans who had long awaited confirmation of their union.

While the morning ceremony followed Andhra traditions, the couple is expected to hold another ceremony later in the day honouring Rashmika’s Kodava heritage — blending both cultural backgrounds into their wedding celebrations.

With this union, one of Telugu cinema’s most talked-about couples begins a new chapter, cheered on by fans across the country.
