After years of intense speculation and “are they, aren’t they” headlines, the wait is finally over. South Indian cinema’s golden couple, Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna, have officially confirmed their relationship and announced their union as “The Wedding of VIROSH.”
Here is your ultimate guide to the celebrity wedding of the year.
The meaning behind VIROSH
In a move that has moved the internet to tears, the couple revealed that the name of their wedding isn’t a branding gimmick; it’s a tribute. “VIROSH” (a portmanteau of Vijay and Rashmika) was a hashtag created by their fans years ago, long before the couple publicly acknowledged their romance.
“Before we made any plans… you were already there. You gave us a name. So today, we name our coming together in your honor.” Official Joint Statement.
The Wedding Schedule
The festivities are currently underway in a three-day celebration that balances royal grandeur with extreme privacy.
| Event | Date | Location |
| Haldi & Welcome Dinner | Feb 24 (Tuesday) | Udaipur |
| Sangeet Ceremony | Feb 25 (Wednesday) | Udaipur |
| The Main Wedding | Feb 26 (Thursday) | Udaipur |
| Grand Reception | March 4 (Wednesday) | Taj Krishna, Hyderabad |
The “No-Phone” Zone
The couple has chosen Mementos by ITC Hotels in Udaipur for their nuptials. Tucked away in the Aravalli hills, the venue offers the secluded intimacy the couple has always prioritized.
The main ceremony is strictly for family and close childhood friends. Surprisingly, no industry colleagues from Bollywood or Tollywood have been invited to the Udaipur leg.
A three-tier security system and a “No Phone” policy are in place to ensure no unauthorized photos leak before the couple shares their official portraits.
Reports suggest a custom menu featuring a blend of South Indian delicacies and global favorites, curated by top in-house chefs.
What’s Next for VIROSH?
Fans won’t have to wait long to see the newlyweds back on screen. Their first film as a married couple, Ranabaali (directed by Rahul Sankrityan), is slated for a worldwide release on September 11, 2026, marking their third collaboration after Geetha Govindam and Dear Comrade.
