Vijay Deverakonda's playful 'underground' comment after wedding

Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda graced their wedding reception on March 5, 2026, at Hyderabad's Taj Krishna hotel. The couple, who previously had a destination wedding in Udaipur, opted for simple yet elegant attire. Their reception was an intimate, invite-only affair for close friends and industry colleagues.

During the event, Vijay Deverakonda shared a candid, playful remark with the waiting paparazzi, expressing a wish to "go underground" and "stay quiet" after the wedding festivities. This comment was met with warm reactions from netizens, who lauded the couple's simplicity and connection to cultural values.

The newlyweds' schedule following their wedding was notably busy. They made their first public appearance post-nuptials at Udaipur Airport and later visited the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam temple. The couple also traveled to Vijay's ancestral village in Telangana, Thummanpet, where they performed religious rituals and a housewarming ceremony.

Further post-wedding activities included a meet-and-greet with fans in Hyderabad, where they served food. Rashmika and Vijay also organized a nationwide Annadanam and sweet distribution event across various cities and temples in India, highlighting their commitment to giving back.

For the reception, Rashmika Mandanna chose a Mysore silk saree featuring a golden-and-black border, complemented by traditional golden temple jewellery. She completed her look with simple makeup, her hair in a braid adorned with red flowers, and sindoor, signifying her marital status.
