After months of rumours and a string of joyful ceremonies, Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda finally threw a warm, heartfelt wedding reception back in Rashmika’s hometown, Kodagu. The timing felt perfect just after Rashmika turned 30. It wasn’t just a celebration; it was a genuine salute to her roots and the culture that shaped her. Rashmika showed up in a vibrant silk saree, wrapped in the traditional Kodava style, while Vijay kept it sharp in a classic suit. You could see how happy they were as they walked together, surrounded by friends, family, and what felt like half the town.
At one point during the gathering, Rashmika got a bit emotional. She called herself a “child of the soil” and thanked everyone for the love they’d shown her. Coming home as a bride, she said, meant the world to her. Fans have loved seeing her and Vijay together since their days in Geetha Govindam, and, honestly, the two looked right at home among Kodagu’s peaceful, green hills.
Vijay wasn’t just there for the photo ops, either. He tried his hand at speaking Kodava Takk which got a few laughs and a lot of cheers before switching to English. Even though he’d been to Kodagu twice before, he said this visit meant the most. He couldn’t help but rave about the stunning Coorgi scenery and the warmth of the people. Then, with a grin, he joked about always being struck by how beautiful Coorgi women are and now, well, he’s married to one.
The reception capped off a traditional Telugu wedding in Udaipur, where they mixed in Kodava customs to honor both families. Before the reception, they made a stop at the Igguthappa temple for blessings, tying in the region’s spiritual side. Their story from co-stars to life partners has had fans hooked the whole way. Now, before diving into work together again on their next film, Ranabaali, this big night in “the Scotland of India” felt like a perfect pause, rooted in home and tradition, before the two step back into the spotlight.
