The City of Lakes witnessed a truly cinematic moment on today when the South Indian superstars Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna made their first public appearance as a married couple. The two were spotted at Udaipur Airport today and both the supporters and the newsworthy vogues began to sing a piece of hype. Titled the “ViRosh” by their millions of followers, the couple married a day earlier, on February 26, in a stunning ceremony that merged their Telugu and Kodava identities.
A Radiant First Public Appearance
Stepping outside the airport terminal, Vijay and Rashmika were greeted by a sea of flashing cameras and cheering fans. Stepping away from heavy wedding finery, the pair wore elegant but comfortable travel clothes:
Rashmika Mandanna: Swore the age-old “new bride” style with a bright red Indian suit adorned in gold embroidery. She finished her look with minimal makeup and a beaming smile that didn’t fade for a second.
Vijay Deverakonda: Credited to his wife in an elegant silver-grey Indo-western kurta attire. Looking no less like a "Rowdy" star turned devoted husband, paired beside Rashmika in some way was like standing with her against an army of people. It wasn't just a rushing off to the flight and the couple's getting away; the couple took moment to appreciate the love their public had. They were shown waving, performing a traditional Namaste, and even giving flying kisses to the photographers, fans and those in the crowd gathered on Earth to look at the stars.
