For years, fans felt it before it was ever said out loud.
The shared smiles. The quiet holidays. The careful answers in interviews. And now, the silence has finally turned into something official.
On Sunday night, February 22, Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda confirmed their relationship and wedding plans through Instagram stories. What followed was not just a celebrity announcement, but a moment that felt deeply personal for millions who had followed their journey since 2018.
And yes, the wedding is happening this week.
The VIROSH Announcement That Went Viral Overnight
The couple didn’t just confirm the wedding. They did it in a way that instantly went viral.
In their Instagram stories, both shared the same heartfelt message. One particular line has taken over social media:
“Before we made any plans… you were already there. You called us VIROSH.”
That one sentence sums up why this announcement feels different.
For years, fans lovingly combined their names into “VIROSH.” It started as a fan page trend, then became a hashtag, and slowly turned into a symbol of their bond. Now, Rashmika and Vijay have officially named their wedding “The Wedding of VIROSH.”
It wasn’t a PR-created tagline. It came from the fans. And they made sure to acknowledge that.
Rashmika Vijay Wedding Date Venue and Complete Event Details
The couple is set to tie the knot on February 26 at The Mementos by ITC Hotels (Ekaaya), a luxury hilltop retreat nestled in the Aravallis, just 25 kilometers outside Udaipur.
As of February 23, both actors have officially landed in Udaipur. Airport visuals showed Rashmika arriving first in a crisp white shirt paired with a grey blazer. She kept her look minimal and elegant.
Vijay followed soon after, wearing a white shirt, leather jacket, and black sunglasses. Fans quickly pointed out his sharp moustache, which many believe is part of his "Ranabaali Look" for his highly anticipated September 2026 film. He was seen smiling, greeting fans, and walking out with his brother, Anand Deverakonda, along with a specialised security team.
Here’s what we know about the wedding schedule:
-
February 24: Mehendi and Sangeet ceremonies begin
-
February 26: Main wedding ceremony in Udaipur
-
March 4: Grand reception at Taj Krishna, Hyderabad
The Hyderabad reception is expected to include film industry colleagues, political personalities and extended family members.
When Did Rashmika and Vijay Get Engaged in Secret
While fans suspected things were serious, the first major step happened quietly.
On October 3, 2025, Rashmika and Vijay reportedly got engaged in an intimate ceremony at Vijay’s residence in Hyderabad. It was not a publicised event. There were no official photos released by the couple at that time.
However, Vijay’s team later confirmed the engagement when media reports surfaced.
That private engagement now feels like the calm before the wedding storm.
Where Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda’s Love Story Started
The couple first worked together in Geetha Govindam. The film became a massive hit and their chemistry instantly became a talking point. They reunited in Dear Comrade, which strengthened their pairing both on-screen and in fan culture.
From there, dating rumours followed them everywhere.
Holiday photos sparked theories. Matching backgrounds led to speculation. Interview clips were analysed frame by frame. Still, both maintained that they were good friends.
Nearly eight years later, the speculation has turned into certainty.
Rashmika Mandanna Latest Career Updates and Upcoming Movies
Rashmika continues to balance Telugu and Hindi cinema confidently.
Her Hindi film Thamma, opposite Ayushmann Khurrana, released in late 2025 and performed well at the box office. It strengthened her position in Bollywood after earlier successes.
In Telugu cinema, she has been selective with scripts. She was part of Rahul Ravindran’s The Girlfriend and has Mysaa lined up next.
Despite wedding preparations, industry insiders say Rashmika has not paused work commitments. Her team has reportedly adjusted schedules around the wedding dates to avoid long production delays.
What’s Next for Vijay Deverakonda After Kingdom Success
Vijay was last seen in Kingdom, directed by Gowtam Tinnanuri and co-starring Satyadev. The film released in late 2025 and performed strongly, helping him regain box office momentum.
He is currently preparing for multiple projects, including Ranabaali. Most notably, his next big collaboration is a film directed by Rahul Sankrityan, scheduled for release in September 2026. Trade analysts believe this project could be a major milestone in his career.
Even as wedding celebrations take center stage, professionally both actors are entering important phases.
What Makes The Wedding of VIROSH So Emotional for Fans
Celebrity weddings are common. But not all feel emotional.
What makes this one stand out is the acknowledgement of fan culture. Instead of distancing themselves from online speculation, Rashmika and Vijay embraced it.
The name VIROSH once lived only in fan edits and comment sections. Now it headlines their wedding invite.
Also, their journey was never loud. No public proposals. No joint interviews confirming romance. Just quiet consistency.
And perhaps that is why this confirmation feels earned rather than staged.

What Is the Next Big Update in the VIROSH Wedding
With pre-wedding festivities starting tomorrow, Udaipur is expected to see tight security and limited media access. Sources suggest the wedding ceremony will remain private, with only close family and select industry friends present.
To ensure absolute privacy, a strict no-phone policy has been enforced for all attendees. Sources suggest the couple has even hired a specialized international security agency to work alongside local teams to secure the perimeter of the palace and prevent any leaked visuals before they are ready to share them.
The Hyderabad reception, however, is likely to be the larger celebration.
For fans, though, the biggest moment has already happened. After years of guessing, decoding and hoping, they heard it directly from the couple themselves.
“Before we made any plans… you were already there.”
And now, they are walking into the next chapter together.
