A Beautiful Union in Udaipur
On Thursday, Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda exchanged vows in a heartfelt ceremony held in Udaipur. The couple celebrated their diverse cultural backgrounds by incorporating two distinct wedding rituals. The day commenced with a traditional Telugu ceremony, followed by a Kodava ritual as the sun set. Family and friends gathered to shower the newlyweds with love and blessings, marking them as one of Tollywood's most prominent couples. Rashmika began her acting career at a young age, while Vijay had a more gradual entry into the industry. Despite their different cultural heritages, their love brought them together.
