Fans are counting down the days to the big moment in the lives of Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna.

While making their relationship public, they also revealed a special name for their celebration - The Wedding of Virosh.

Amid all the wedding buzz, let’s pause for a moment and rewind the clock to see how this much-loved love story unfolded.

Rashmika Mandanna-Vijay Deverakonda relationship timeline

2018: The film that started it all

Every great Bollywood (or Tollywood) romance seems to begin on a film set, and for Vijay and Rashmika, it was Geetha Govindam. Released in 2018, the romantic drama became a massive hit, and so did their chemistry. Audiences couldn’t get enough of their playful banter and emotional scenes. Almost instantly, fans began wondering: was there something brewing beyond the camera?

2019: Chemistry continues with Dear Comrade

If one film sparked rumours, their second collaboration added more fuel to it. In Dear Comrade, the pair delivered intense and heartfelt performances. During promotions, their comfort level and candid moments didn’t go unnoticed. Social media was flooded with edits, fan theories and one big question: are they or aren’t they?

2020–2022: The silent chapter

While neither confirmed the relationship during dating days, the sightings kept coming. From airport appearances to dinner outings, the two were often spotted around the same time in the same places. Fans even played detective, matching the backgrounds of their holiday pictures on Instagram or sharing each other's beanies and caps. Though they never posted together, the similarities were hard to miss.

Adding to the speculation were reports of Rashmika attending Vijay’s family gatherings. While the actors maintained that they were “good friends,” fans were convinced there was more to the story.

Dodging the big question

Throughout interviews, both stars handled relationship questions with grace and clever deflection. Vijay often laughed off rumours, while Rashmika chose to keep her personal life private. Their silence, however, only made the curiosity grow stronger.

2023–2024: Hints without names

By 2023, the dynamic seemed to shift slightly. The duo appeared more relaxed about being seen together. In separate promotional interviews in 2024, both actors admitted they were “in a relationship,” but stopped short of naming their partners. For fans, it was the soft launch they had been waiting for.

October 3, 2025: The private engagement

The next big milestone reportedly came on October 3, 2025, when the couple got engaged in an intimate ceremony at Vijay’s Hyderabad residence. The news was confirmed by sources close to the actors a day later. True to their style, the celebration was kept low-key and away from the spotlight.



February 2026: Wedding bells ahead

Several reports suggest that the wedding is likely to take place on February 26, 2026. Interestingly, it may happen before the release of their upcoming film directed by Rahul Sankrityan.

‘The Wedding of VIROSH’ — a tribute to fans

Perhaps the most heartwarming detail is the name of their wedding: The Wedding of VIROSH. In a joint note, the couple shared that “Virosh” was not a brand idea or a family tradition, but a name lovingly created by fans by blending “Vijay” and “Rashmika.” By adopting it officially, they acknowledged the fandom that supported them through years of speculation and admiration.

Now, we are eagerly waiting for the official wedding pictures!
