It’s Official! Rashmika Mandanna, Vijay Deverakonda Announce Wedding, Reveal Cute Hashtag ‘VIROSH’

Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna have confirmed their relationship and announced The Wedding of VIROSH, a fan christened title reflecting public support. The couple plans to wed on February 26 while continuing their film projects in Telugu and Hindi cinema.

Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda have now confirmed their relationship on social media, and also shared that their wedding will be called “The Wedding of VIROSH”. The couple said the title came from fans, who long ago blended their names into “VIROSH”. The ceremony is reportedly planned for February 26.

In a heartfelt joint note, the actors explained that this fan-created identity slowly became important in their private lives. They stressed that no professional planner or family custom suggested it. Instead, the name grew from constant fan support, and now marks what the couple describe as a major shared milestone.

'The Wedding of VIROSH' fan story and official note

Vijay and Rashmika's note 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 announcement appeared in Instagram stories, where Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna jointly confirmed that their wedding will “officially be known as 'The Wedding of VIROSH’.” By repeating the fan-made term, the pair underlined how social media admiration has shaped their public image and, now, their marriage plans.

'The Wedding of VIROSH' linked to film collaborations and chemistry

The name VIROSH first gained traction after the actors worked together in Telugu cinema. Their debut pairing came with the 2018 hit Geetha Govindam, followed by Dear Comrade in 2019. Viewers responded strongly to their on-screen chemistry, and fan communities soon adopted the blended moniker for Vijay and Rashmika.

Over time, speculation about their off-screen bond intensified. Holiday photos, joint outings and public appearances were frequently examined online for romantic clues. Throughout these rumours, both stars continued to describe each other as “good friends”, yet talk about a possible relationship persisted until the recent wedding confirmation.

While preparing for “The Wedding of VIROSH”, both actors are also focused on work. Vijay is lining up several projects, including VD13 and other major Telugu films. Rashmika is balancing Telugu and Hindi work; the most recent Hindi theatrical release was Thamma, co-starring Ayushmann Khurrana, reflecting an active phase in both careers.

With the wedding expected on February 26, fans now have official confirmation that the long-rumoured relationship has moved into a new phase. The couple’s decision to label the event “The Wedding of VIROSH” places audience affection at the centre of their celebrations, while both continue to pursue busy film schedules.
