Vijay Deverakonda’s ‘pookie’ moment for Rashmika Mandanna on one month anniversary goes viral; see unseen pics

Time flies and how! Power couple Virosh got married on February 26, 2026, and today they celebrate one month of their wedding. Just like a lot of Instagram couples, Pan-India couple Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda have also hopped on to the trend of celebrating a one-month wedding, a month of engagement and other monthly celebrations.

In our wildest dreams, we never thought Vijay, who is the baddie on screen, would turn into Pookie after his wedding to Rashmika.

On Thursday, Vijay took to his Instagram and shared a carousel of unseen moments and candid pictures of their wedding. He also mentioned that the couple is now gradually returning to work. Vijay paused to express deep gratitude to the women who helped make their wedding truly special. He thanked everyone who was behind making their wedding memorable and forever etched into their hearts.

Vijay posted a series of photos from their wedding and sangeet ceremony, as well as a behind-the-scenes video from their grand reception in Hyderabad.

He wrote, “It’s been a month 🙂 There are a few big moments in all our lives. We will all reach those moments at some point and stand face to face with them, and before you know it, you will have passed through them 🙂 But if you do it right, the memories from it will stay forever with you, bringing you all joy, and this i want to ensure always.”

Vijay took a moment to thank three women who played key roles in making the wedding special.

Speaking about his jewellery designer, he wrote, “1. My jewellery Arpita & the team from @shreejewellersofficial . I just had to ask it and it would be made into reality. Never heard the word “not possible” from her even once – i asked them things that i saw in my head that no body was even making, and they came back with the most beautiful sketches, more artistic that even my dreams and brought them to reality. You did something special, Arpita, and i have immense love for you.”

The actor then penned a long note for his friend Aishwarya, crediting her for being by their side through every step of the wedding planning.

He wrote, “2. My friend Aishwarya – everyone deserves a friend like ICY. She is truly a blessing. Without any prompting from me, she was there from the moment I decided to get married to ensure that both Rashmika and I enjoyed the process, from planning trips and selecting the venue to food tasting, attire, jewellery, invitations, decor, and travel. She was by our side throughout. There is really no sufficient way to thank her, so I decided that on the final day of the celebrations—the reception—all the jewellery I wore would be hers. I wore her anklets as my necklace, bracelet, and anklet, so she could always be an integral part of our celebration.”

Finally, Vijay expressed his appreciation for their wedding planner, Priya, who he says became like family during the celebrations.

He shared, “3. Our planner Priya – Priya came in as our planner, but soon became our right arm; she became family. Rushie and I have, in our conversations so many times, said: “This wedding would not be the same without her”. We love you, Priya, and know that every celebration of ours from hereon is your responsibility to plan :).

Vijay, in one of the photos, is seen caring for the horse he rode on as a groom, while Rashmika came in a palki for the wedding festivities. Other photos show the couple posing with friends and guests.

The couple, who worked together in films such as Geetha Govindam and Dear Comrade, had been dating for seven years but publicly confirmed their relationship only days before their wedding.
