Wedding bells are ringing for Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna, who are all set to tie the knot on February 26. The beloved star couple, fondly nicknamed “Virosh” by their fans, are currently immersed in joyful pre-wedding celebrations — and they’re making sure to take their admirers along for the ride.
After officially confirming their impending nuptials, Vijay and Rashmika announced that they would be calling their big day “The Wedding of VIROSH,” a heartfelt tribute to the fandom that stood by them long before they made their relationship public. In a sweet note shared with fans, the couple wrote, “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’.” They signed off with gratitude and affection, thanking supporters for always holding them with love.
As part of their pre-wedding festivities, the couple recently enjoyed a lighthearted game of cricket, cleverly dubbed the “Virosh Premiere League.” Sharing glimpses from the friendly match on social media, Vijay and Rashmika appeared relaxed, playful and deeply in sync. The candid moments delighted fans, who have followed their journey from rumored romance to confirmed partnership.
As the couple prepares to exchange vows, fans can’t help but revisit one of the most adorable public moments that first fueled dating speculation. The throwback dates back to the promotions of Animal, where Rashmika starred opposite Ranbir Kapoor. The film was directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, who shares a close professional bond with Vijay, having directed him in Arjun Reddy.
During one promotional appearance on Nandamuri Balakrishna’s talk show, Vijay joined the team via a surprise phone call. What followed instantly became a viral sensation. When Rashmika was handed the phone, Vijay casually and affectionately greeted her with, “What’s up rey?” The informal tone and familiarity left the studio audience cheering. Ranbir and Sandeep burst into laughter, clearly enjoying the candid exchange.
Rashmika, meanwhile, was visibly flustered. Blushing and caught off guard, she softly responded, “You’re in speaker… they’re listening,” before breaking into giggles. The clip quickly spread across social media, with fans celebrating the chemistry and reading it as undeniable proof that something special was brewing between the two stars.
Interestingly, during the same event, Ranbir revealed a lesser-known connection tying the trio together. He shared that Sandeep had first met Rashmika at the success party of Arjun Reddy — held on Vijay’s terrace. The coincidence only added fuel to fan theories, suggesting that their paths may have been intertwined long before their romance was publicly acknowledged.
While Vijay and Rashmika kept their relationship private for years, moments like that phone call gave fans glimpses into their bond. Now, as they step into a new chapter, those memories feel even more meaningful.
The couple is expected to have an intimate wedding ceremony in Udaipur, followed by a grand reception in Hyderabad. As “The Wedding of VIROSH” approaches, fans are eagerly awaiting more glimpses from the celebrations.
From playful cricket matches to viral blush-worthy moments, Vijay and Rashmika’s love story has unfolded like a cinematic romance — and now, it’s heading toward its most beautiful climax yet.
