When Vijay Deverakonda stepped before the photographers during the grand reception celebrating his marriage to Rashmika Mandanna, he carried a playful thought that instantly set the tone for the evening. The celebration, held at the elegant Taj Krishna in Hyderabad on Wednesday night, came after days of continuous festivities. Standing beside his bride, the actor humorously hinted that once the final celebration concluded, the couple hoped to disappear from the public eye for a while. His remark amused Rashmika and the crowd gathered around them, sparking laughter among the photographers and guests who had assembled to witness the occasion.
The playful comment resonated strongly because it reflected the reality of the couple’s hectic schedule. For nearly a week, the newlyweds had been immersed in a whirlwind of public appearances and family ceremonies. Their calendar had been packed with gatherings that included fan meets, media conversations, visits to temples, traditional rituals in their ancestral village, and the distribution of sweets across more than twenty cities. By the time the much-anticipated VIROSH reception arrived, the couple had already experienced days filled with celebration, attention, and cultural rituals.
Rashmika chose a striking red Mysore silk saree accented with a black and gold border. Her hair was neatly braided and decorated with red flowers, adding a classic touch to her appearance. The saree featured the detailed Gandaberunda motif, a symbol deeply associated with Karnataka’s cultural heritage. She paired the outfit with traditional gold ornaments, including an elaborate necklace, an odiyanam waist belt, lotus-pattern bangles, and a decorative hand ornament known as a hathphool.
Her mother also paid tribute to family heritage by wearing a saree draped in the distinctive Kodava style, a subtle reference to their roots in Coorg. This cultural element echoed one of the ceremonies that had taken place earlier during the couple’s wedding celebrations in Udaipur.
