Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna completed one month of marriage on March 26. They got married on February 26 in a private ceremony in Udaipur, with only close friends and family present. They had kept their relationship private for several years before tying the knot.
Both are now stepping back into work and will soon be seen together in 'Ranabaali', their first film as a married couple.
A note of gratitude
As the couple prepared to return to their professional routines, Vijay Deverakonda wrote a long heartfelt note in his Instagram post. He wrote, "Its been a month :) There are a few big moments in all our lives, we will all reach those moments at some point and stand face to face with it, and before you know it you would have passed through it but if you do it right, the memories from it will stay forever with you, bringing you and all joy and this i want to ensure always.
And as Me and Rushie start stepping back into work, i wanted to take a moment to give my love to a few women who ensured I and everyone around me had the most joyous wedding."
He praised jeweller Arpita from Shree Jewellers in his Instagram post, saying, "I just had to ask it and it would be made into reality. Never heard the word 'not possible' from her even once -i asked them things that i saw in my head that no body was even making, and they came back with the most beautiful sketches, more artistic that even my dreams and brought them to reality. You did something special Arpita immense love for you."
The people behind the celebrations
Vijay Deverakonda also credited his close friend Aishwarya, known as ICY, for standing by them at every step. He wrote, "Everyone deserves a friend like ICY:) even without me asking she was there from the moment i decided to get married to make sure Me and Rushie had fun, from trips to selecting the venue to tasting food, getting drunk doing it, getting the clothes to reality, the jewellery, invites, decor, travel - anything we did she was by both our sides.
There is no sufficient way to thank her, so i decided that on the final day of the celebrations-the reception. That all jewellery i wore would be hers. So i wore her anklets as my necklace, her anklets as a bracelet and her anklet as an anklet that way i could forever etch her into our celebration :)"
Their wedding planner, who started as a professional hire, soon became their right hand and eventually like family. Both Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika have said the wedding would not have been the same without her. The couple now trusts her to plan all their future celebrations as well.
Fans pour out love
Rashmika Mandanna has also shared a post on her Instagram and wrote a heartfelt note too.
Fans responded warmly with comments of both the couple and flooded the post with warm wishes. One fan wrote, "Happy one month anniversary my loves." Another called it "a story with two awesome souls" that will "never be faded always sparkling like a star." Others joined in with "Happy 1 month wedding anniversary virosh" and "Happy 1 Month Anniversary Both of You."
Many also praised the bond Vijay Deverakonda shared with his close circle, with one fan writing, "Having these kind of womens in life is such a blessing And having a bsf like aishwarya dii is even more beautiful." Another fan expressed overwhelming emotion, commenting, "My heart is full my loves, it's been one month and it feels surreal love you so so so so much we."
