Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda's Emotional Media Interaction Before Wedding Reception
Just hours before their highly anticipated wedding reception, newly married couple Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda made a special appearance before the Telugu media. This marked their first joint public interaction with their home state press since tying the knot, creating an intimate and memorable moment for all present.
A Picture-Perfect Arrival
The couple arrived hand-in-hand, presenting a united front as they stepped into married life together. Vijay Deverakonda chose a vibrant bright yellow kurta for the occasion, radiating traditional elegance. Rashmika Mandanna complemented her husband perfectly in a stunning pastel pink saree, which she paired with a sophisticated golden full-sleeved blouse.
The Pushpa actress exuded bridal radiance throughout the interaction, accessorizing her traditional look with exquisite jewellery that highlighted her glowing appearance. Within minutes of the meet-and-greet concluding, pictures and videos from the emotional gathering flooded social media platforms, quickly going viral across multiple networks.
Heartfelt Acknowledgments to the Media
During the interaction, Vijay Deverakonda expressed deep gratitude to the Telugu media for their unwavering support throughout his career journey. "You have watched me since I was young — through films, interviews and photoshoots," he shared emotionally. "When I was just starting out, these conversations meant everything to me."
The actor continued with even more heartfelt sentiments: "As an actor chasing my dreams, you've been part of that journey. Today, as I step into married life, you are still here and we are growing together. The Telugu states now have a new daughter-in-law. Please take care of her."
Vijay's touching statement visibly moved Rashmika, who blushed as those present responded with warm applause. She added her own words of appreciation: "This is the first time we are taking such a big step, and we truly seek all your blessings as we begin this new phase of our lives."
High-Profile Invitations Extended
Ahead of their grand reception celebrations, Rashmika Mandanna personally called on Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy to extend a formal invitation. During this meeting, she also met his wife Geetha and their daughter, seeking their blessings for her new marital journey.
The couple had previously tied the knot on February 26 in a private ceremony in Udaipur, surrounded by close friends and family members. In the days leading up to their wedding, they undertook significant outreach to national political figures:
- Met Prime Minister Narendra Modi to formally extend their wedding invitation
- Visited Union Home Minister Amit Shah, who gifted them a Ganesh idol
- Rashmika later shared pictures from their meeting with the Prime Minister on social media platform X
- Vijay posted glimpses from their interaction with Amit Shah, expressing gratitude for the thoughtful gift
This media interaction represents a significant milestone for the couple as they transition from individual celebrities to a married unit in the public eye. Their gracious approach to media relations and their thoughtful outreach to political leaders demonstrates their understanding of their public roles while celebrating their personal union.
