The wait is finally over for fans of Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda. After years of speculation and countless rumors, the beloved stars have officially confirmed their relationship while announcing their wedding ceremony. The couple, who have long been adored by fans as “VIROSH,” revealed that they will soon be tying the knot, marking a new chapter in their journey together.
In a heartfelt gesture to their admirers, the soon-to-be-married couple announced that their big day will be called “The Wedding of VIROSH.” The name holds special significance, as it was lovingly coined by fans who combined their names, Vijay and Rashmika, to create the now-viral hashtag. Acknowledging the immense love and unwavering support they have received over the years, the duo chose to honor their fan-given identity by making it an official part of their wedding celebrations.
Both actors took to Instagram to share a joint note expressing gratitude and excitement. Their message read:

“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)!”
The emotional note instantly went viral, drawing congratulatory messages from fans, friends, and colleagues across the film industry. Social media platforms were flooded with celebratory posts, as supporters expressed joy at finally seeing the couple make their relationship official.
According to reports, Rashmika and Vijay are set to exchange vows on February 26, 2026. The wedding will reportedly take place in a private ceremony at a grand palace in Udaipur, Rajasthan. The picturesque city, known for its royal architecture and scenic beauty, will provide a regal backdrop for the intimate celebration. Only close family members and select friends from the film fraternity are expected to attend the ceremony.
Speculation about their romance has circulated for nearly seven to eight years. The actors reportedly grew close while working together on the hit films Geetha Govindam and Dear Comrade. Their on-screen chemistry quickly became a fan favorite, fueling rumors that their bond extended beyond the screen. Despite frequent public appearances together and vacations that sparked dating rumors, both maintained silence about their relationship status for years.
In earlier interviews, Rashmika remained guarded when questioned about marriage rumors. Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter India, she had said, “I wouldn’t like to confirm or deny the marriage. I will just say when it’s to be spoken about, we shall.” Her measured response only intensified speculation at the time.
Reports also suggest that the couple got engaged in the first week of October at Vijay’s residence in Hyderabad, around the festive occasion of Dasara. While the engagement was initially kept under wraps, Vijay’s team later confirmed both the engagement and their wedding plans, putting an end to the swirling rumors.
Now, with the official announcement, fans can finally celebrate the love story they have cherished for years. From co-stars to life partners, Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda’s journey has been closely followed and warmly supported. As “The Wedding of VIROSH” approaches, excitement continues to build for what promises to be one of the most talked-about celebrity weddings of 2026.
