Following their grand wedding reception at the Taj Krishna in Hyderabad on March 4, 2026, fan-favorite couple Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna—affectionately known as VIROSH—revealed plans to step away from the limelight. During a light-hearted interaction with the paparazzi, Vijay joked that the couple intended to “finish this celebration and go underground” to enjoy some much-needed privacy. This follows their intimate Udaipur wedding on February 26 and a week of high-profile festivities. The star-studded Hyderabad event saw a massive turnout from both Tollywood and Bollywood, including icons like Chiranjeevi, Allu Arjun, and Ram Charan. Filmmaker Karan Johar, who attended with actress Kriti Sanon, added a touch of wit to the evening by sharing a social media post thanking Kriti for being his “support poser” and “beauty” for the night. Kriti, who recently wrapped filming Cocktail 2 with Rashmika, playfully responded that the director is a natural poser who needs no support. The reception was a strictly invite-only affair with heavy police surveillance and QR-code entry to manage the overwhelming crowds. The couple dazzled in traditional attire, with Rashmika in a radiant red Mysore silk saree and Vijay in a classic ivory veshti. As they wrap up their public celebrations, the duo expressed deep gratitude to their fans before beginning their private journey as husband and wife.
