Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda have finally made it official — and the internet can’t keep calm. The much-loved duo took to social media to announce their upcoming wedding, sending fans into an emotional frenzy.
But that wasn’t the only surprise. In a heartfelt revelation, the couple shared that their big day will be known as “The Wedding of VIROSH” — a name that carries years of love, memories and fandom behind it.
In a deeply personal note, Rashmika and Vijay explained that “Virosh” wasn’t crafted by event planners or rooted in family traditions. Instead, it was born from their fans — who, long before wedding bells were even a thought, lovingly blended their names into “VIROSH.”
They added that long before any wedding plans were made, their fans had already given their bond a meaning. Naming their wedding after this fan-created identity is Vijay and Rashmika’s way of including their supporters in the festivities.
Rashmika and Vijay penned on social media,
“Our Dearest loves,
Before we made any plans,
before we chose anything for ourselves—
you were already there.
With so much love,
you gave us a name.
You called us ‘VIROSH’.
So today — with full hearts,
we name our coming together in your honour.
We would like to name it —
‘The Wedding of VIROSH’.
Thank you for holding us with so much love.
You are a part of us — always.
Biggest hugs and full love! (sic)”
Recently, Rashmika and Vijay’s alleged wedding card was doing rounds on social media.
According to this wedding card, the ‘Geetha Govindam’ co-stars are all set to tie the knot on February 26.
This will be followed by a grand reception on March 4 in Hyderabad.
The text on the speculated wedding card read, “I’m writing to share some special news and to invite you to be part of a huge moment in our lives. With the love and blessings of our families, Rashmika and I will be getting married on 26.02.26 in a small and intimate ceremony.”
“As we begin this new chapter—celebrating and creating memories around our union—it would truly mean a lot to us to celebrate with those who have been a part of our journeys.
Your presence and blessings would make this occasion even more special for us,” it went on to say.
Long-standing dating speculation
Vijay and Rashmika, who shared screen space in Geetha Govindam and Dear Comrade, have been linked for years. Their off-screen camaraderie, frequent holidays and social media interactions have often added fuel to relationship rumours.
While they have consistently maintained that they are “just friends,” Rashmika has previously described Vijay as a “blessing” in her life, acknowledging his support during emotionally challenging times.
Rashmika and Vijay Deverakonda reportedly had an intimate engagement ceremony in Hyderabad in October last year and are now set to tie the knot in Udaipur on February 26.
With the couple confirming their wedding date, fans are now eagerly waiting to witness what is being called the wedding of the year.
