INSIDE Vijay and Rashmika's haldi: 'Rushie' and 'Vijay' floral tags, petal carpets, dog cartoons and more

The wedding of Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna has turned into a full blown celebration that refuses to stay quiet. With every passing day, a fresh update manages to dominate timelines and spark another wave of fan frenzy.

After a poolside bachelor bash and the much talked about VIROSH Premier League cricket tournament, the couple’s haldi ceremony has now taken centre stage. And this time, it was Vijay himself who dropped the glimpses.

A Haldi Venue Straight Out Of A Dream

Vijay shared images that appear to be from an intimate yet visually stunning haldi function. The ceremony was set outdoors in a circular space wrapped in soft wooden paneling, creating a cosy and private vibe. The floor was covered in delicate pink rose petals, giving the entire setting a romantic warmth.

At the centre stood two simple wooden stools, clearly placed for the bride and groom during the ritual. Around them were baskets overflowing with yellow and orange marigold petals, instantly adding that festive glow every traditional haldi demands. The backdrop featured lush floral installations in warm tones that made the entire venue look like a serene garden celebration rather than a conventional wedding function.

The aesthetic felt thoughtful and deeply personal. Nothing looked overdone. Everything looked intentional.

‘Rushie’ And Vijay: The Detail That Melted Fans

In another Instagram story, Vijay zoomed in on a tiny but heart winning detail. Two floral name placards sat neatly arranged among fresh lilies, roses and marigolds. One flower shaped card read “Rushie,” Rashmika’s nickname. The other simply said “Vijay.”

It was subtle, romantic and very them.

Long before any official confirmation, fans had lovingly coined the term VIROSH for the pair. Earlier this week, the couple embraced that fan given title and formally named their celebrations The Wedding of VIROSH. That acknowledgement alone sent social media into overdrive.

Now, with haldi visuals adding more emotion to the narrative, timelines are flooded with edits, congratulatory messages and throwback clips. For many fans, this is not just celebrity wedding content. It feels like witnessing a love story that has unfolded over years finally stepping into its big moment.

From Geetha Govindam To Real Life Romance

Their journey began on the sets of Geetha Govindam in 2018. The film became a cultural sensation and their on screen chemistry was impossible to ignore. They reunited in Dear Comrade, and whispers about their off screen closeness only grew louder.

For years, the two maintained a dignified silence. Occasional public appearances, cryptic social media posts and shared vacations kept curiosity alive without direct confirmation. It was a slow burn narrative that fans tracked like a long running series.

Now the confirmation is unmistakable. The wedding festivities are in full swing and the updates are coming straight from the groom himself.

Interestingly, Vijay and Rashmika are also set to reunite professionally in Ranabaali, scheduled for release on September 11, 2026. That project will mark their first collaboration after marriage, adding another layer of excitement for followers invested in both their personal and professional journey.

Rashmika's Side of Images

Mandanna also went on to share her set of images from the haldi function, and while different from what Deverakonda's set, it was equally lovely. The first images saw two wooden chairs around a yellow themed table with aesthetic and cute things set to decorate it, and the other image saw a cartoon of two dogs driving around in a car with written content in the back which wasn't entirely clear. What caught the eye also was a set of umbrellas in focus which means that either they were there for the guests to tackle the heat or they were there for a set of games.

VIROSH Premier League To Haldi Glow

Before the haldi ceremony, the pre wedding festivities had already taken a playful turn. Vijay’s bachelor party featured poolside volleyball that quickly went viral. Then came the VIROSH Premier League, a private cricket tournament complete with customised jerseys and branded elements that felt less like a side event and more like a headline attraction.

This was not just a casual match. It was a statement. The couple clearly wanted their celebrations to reflect their personalities. Sporty, fun loving and deeply connected to their inner circle.

Reports suggest that after the Udaipur celebrations, a grand reception might take place in Hyderabad on March 4. While official confirmation on that remains awaited, the excitement surrounding February 26 is already sky high.

In an industry where celebrity weddings often follow a familiar pattern, Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna are crafting something that feels distinctly theirs. From petal covered haldi floors to personalised floral name tags and cricket leagues with wedding branding, every detail tells a story.

If the haldi glimpses are any indication, The Wedding of VIROSH is not just an event. It is a full scale celebration of a romance that fans have rooted for since 2018. And if this is the build up, the big day might just feel like the grand finale of a love league that the audience has followed for years.
