The much-awaited moment is here! Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda are married!

The actors, who played an on-screen couple in Telugu films such as โGeetha Govindamโ and ย โDear Comradeโ, made it official in real life too.

The wedding festivities kicked off in style in Udaipur on February 24 with a traditional Haldi ceremony, followed by a vibrant Mehendi and Sangeet on February 25.

Opting for a private ceremony, the couple invited only their inner circle of friends and family. However, several famous faces from the South Indian film industry have been spotted touching down at Udaipur airport, including directors Sandeep Reddy Vanga and Tharun Bhascker, along with actors Eesha Rebba, Ashika Ranganath and Rahul Ravindran.
ย
The ceremony is taking place at the stunning ITC Mementos, a secluded luxury retreat nestled in the Aravalli hills. The property, which reportedly costs around โน75,000 per night, offers total privacy and even features its own helipad.

In a surprising and heart-warming gesture, Prime Minister Narendra Modi sent a letter of congratulations to the couple. Reaching out to wish them well on their “divinely scripted” new chapter, the PM noted that while both are used to film scripts, this real-life unionโ rooted in the spirit of ‘sakha saptpada bhava’โ would surely outshine any magic theyโve created on screen. He described the marriage as a beautiful beginning where the two become “friends for life.”
