After months of tight secrecy, Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda surprised fans with a deeply personal reveal of their wedding — and the internet responded in record-breaking fashion.
The couple exchanged vows on Thursday at a private resort near Udaipur, surrounded only by close friends and family. There were no media announcements, no red carpet moments — just an intimate ceremony.
Hours later, Rashmika shared a series of candid photos with the caption:
“Introducing to you now ‘My Husband’! Mr. Vijay Deverakonda!!”
She described him as “the man who taught me what true love feels like,” adding, “Let’s have the best life ever together.”
24 million likes in 48 hours
The post exploded online, collecting 24 million likes within 48 hours — the highest ever for an Instagram photo from an Indian account.
The milestone surpasses the previous record held by Virat Kohli, whose post after India’s ICC Men’s T20 World Cup victory received 22.8 million likes.
Vijay’s own wedding post is also surging, approaching 19 million likes and counting.
Rashmika’s wedding announcement now ranks as the second most-liked content overall from an Indian account, behind only a viral Reel by Kishore Mondal, which has amassed 51 million likes.
‘Viresh’ becomes official
Fans have long referred to the pair as “Viresh,” a nickname born from their on-screen chemistry in Geetha Govindam and Dear Comrade. The couple reportedly embraced the moniker during their wedding reception, delighting their fan base.
What many expected to be a glossy magazine-style reveal instead turned into something more heartfelt and direct — a simple social media post that became one of the most iconic digital moments in Indian entertainment history.
