The "City of Lakes" is officially in a state of high-alert and high-excitement as the most anticipated celebrity couple of the year, Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna, have arrived in Udaipur to kickstart their wedding festivities. After nearly eight years of dating rumors, guarded silences, and fan-made hashtags, the duo—affectionately known as VIROSH—is all set to tie the knot on February 26, 2026.

The celebrations, which the couple has officially titled “The Wedding of VIROSH” in a heartfelt tribute to their fans, will begin tomorrow, February 24. The couple was spotted at the airport today, twinning in elegant formals, looking every bit the royal pair as they headed toward their high-security luxury retreat.

The Journey of VIROSH

The love story of Vijay and Rashmika is the stuff of cinematic legend. Their journey began on the sets of the 2018 blockbuster Geetha Govindam. The chemistry was so palpable that audiences instantly began "shipping" them. They reunited for the intense Dear Comrade in 2019, further cementing their status as a fan-favorite pair.

While the world speculated, the couple maintained a dignified silence. From secret Maldives vacations in 2023 to being spotted at each other’s family gatherings, "Virosh" became a symbol of a modern, low-profile romance. The turning point for fans was a viral moment during Animal promotions where Vijay’s voice on a loudspeaker made Rashmika blush on national television.

On October 3, 2025, they reportedly had a private engagement, and on February 22, 2026, they finally confirmed the news on Instagram, stating: “Before we made any plans... you were already there. You called us VIROSH. So today, we name our coming together in your honor.”

The Royal Backdrop for VIROSH

Udaipur remains the "Wedding Capital of India," and for VIROSH, privacy and heritage were the top priorities. The couple has reportedly chosen a secluded luxury hill resort on the outskirts of the city, away from the prying eyes of the public.

The Mementos by ITC Hotels and Raffles Udaipur are among the top properties rumored to be hosting the guests. These venues offer island-like exclusivity and helipads for VIP arrivals.

A "No-Phone" Policy: Following the footsteps of elite celebrity weddings, VIROSH has enforced a strict no-phone policy. Even the photography and catering teams have reportedly signed strict Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) to ensure no leaks occur before the couple shares their official photos.

The festivities are designed to be an intimate affair, restricted strictly to immediate family and close friends.

February 24 (Haldi & Mehendi): Traditional rituals with a Rajasthani touch are expected to kick off the day.

February 25 (Sangeet): A night of music and dance where the couple is rumored to perform a medley of their own hit songs.

February 26 (The Main Ceremony): The grand wedding where Vijay and Rashmika will exchange vows in a traditional ceremony.

March 4 (The Grand Reception): After the private Udaipur affair, the couple will host a star-studded reception at Taj Krishna, Hyderabad, for their industry colleagues and the film fraternity.

The hashtag #TheWeddingOfVIROSH has been trending at #1 on X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram since the couple’s arrival. Fans have been sharing "Geetha-Govindam" edits and heartfelt messages. One user wrote, "Seeing VIROSH finally happen is like seeing a movie ending come true in real life!" The "Airport Look" photos of the couple have already garnered millions of likes, with fashion critics praising their understated yet sophisticated travel style.

The Power Couple: Career Highlights

Both Vijay and Rashmika are pan-India superstars in their own right.

Vijay Deverakonda: From the cult classic Arjun Reddy to becoming a national heartthrob, Vijay has built a brand centered on raw charisma. He is currently gearing up for high-profile projects like Ranabaali.

Rashmika Mandanna: Often called the "National Crush," Rashmika has conquered the South and Bollywood alike with hits like Pushpa: The Rise and Animal.

Their union is not just a personal milestone but a significant moment for the Indian film industry, bringing together the massive fanbases of the Telugu, Kannada, and Hindi markets.

A New Chapter Begins

As the sun sets over Lake Pichola today, the stage is set for a wedding that is as much a tribute to a decade-long fandom as it is to a private love story. The VIROSH wedding is a reminder that in the world of glamour, some stories are worth the wait.
