Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda Wedding Speculation Resurfaces

Speculation surrounding the potential wedding of Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda has resurfaced, enveloped in the aesthetic haze of February. Reports suggest that the two actors have allegedly tied the knot in the picturesque city of Udaipur. However, conflicting information has emerged regarding the exact date, with some sources indicating the wedding was rescheduled from February 26 to February 5.

The wedding is described as a close-knit affair, featuring a limited guest list that includes only family members and close friends.
