Rashmika Mandanna’s Pushpa dance leaves Vijay Deverakonda spellbound as Udaipur sangeet kicks off four-day wedding
Rashmika Mandanna delivered a surprise dance at the Sangeet that opened a four-day wedding celebration in Udaipur, choosing a track from her recent film and leaving her husband-to-be visibly moved. The moment intensified an intimate series of events that has drawn a close circle of friends and family to the city as the couple proceed toward their nuptials.
Rashmika Mandanna's Pushpa performance at the Sangeet
The Sangeet, which began on February 24, featured a standout set by Rashmika Mandanna when she performed the song "Angaaron" from the 2024 film Pushpa 2: The Rule. The dance was presented as a dedicated tribute to Vijay Deverakonda and was described by attendees as heartfelt; the groom reacted with visible awe. The selection of a high-energy number from a recent blockbuster shifted the atmosphere from celebratory to personal, turning a popular cinematic moment into an intimate expression between the couple.
They arrived at the venue hand-in-hand, and the space was decorated with large banners and posters of the pair, underscoring the personal nature of the festivities. Multiple performances marked the evening, but the Pushpa routine stood out both for its choreography and for the emotional response it elicited from the groom.
What makes this notable is the repurposing of a widely recognised song into a private tribute: a performance drawn from the couple's shared public life that also served to centre the evening on their relationship.
Udaipur celebration, guest list and family gesture
The wedding is being staged as a four-day celebration in Udaipur, with the couple's formal nuptials scheduled for the concluding day and a grand reception planned in Hyderabad on March 4. The gatherings were intentionally limited to close friends and family, creating an atmosphere of music, laughter and camaraderie across several private events.
Among the invited guests were filmmakers Sandeep Reddy Vanga, Rahul Ravindran and Tharun Bhascker, along with actors Ashika Ranganath and Eesha Rebba and stylist Shravya Varma. Their presence reinforced the industry circle attending the private rites, while the small scale of the guest list helped preserve intimacy throughout the program.
An emotional highlight of the evening occurred when Vijay’s mother presented Rashmika with traditional heirloom bangles—a symbolic handover that underscored the joining of the two families. That ceremonial gift, combined with the curated guest list, contributed directly to the evening’s tone: personal gestures and familiar faces shaped a celebration designed more for close connection than public spectacle.
The couple, who had kept their relationship private for years, announced their marriage plans last weekend and introduced their joint name, VIROSH. The announcement was met with visible support from fans and industry colleagues, an early echo of the approval that has followed them into Udaipur.
As the four-day schedule moves toward the ceremonial day and the March 4 reception, the sequence of performances, family rituals and focused guest list has reinforced the intended intimacy of the wedding. The dedicated Pushpa dance and the heirloom gift are tangible signs of how public achievements and private traditions are being woven together in real time during the celebrations.
