Udaipur, February 26 Actors Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna got married on Thursday in a private ceremony attended by close family and friends at a luxury hotel on the outskirts of Udaipur, and shared pictures of their special day on social media.
Mandanna was seen in a red sari with traditional gold jewelry, while Deverakonda complemented her with an off-white dhoti and red shawl in the photos shared by the couple on their respective Instagram handles.
"I missed her in a way that made me feel like my day would have been better if she were around. Like my meals would have felt more wholesome if she were sitting across from me. Like my workouts would have been more fun and less of a punishment if she were doing them with me. Like I needed her – just to feel that sense of home and calm, no matter where I was. So, I made my best friend… my wife," Deverakonda captioned the wedding photographs.
Mandanna, in her caption, wrote: "Introducing to you now 'My Husband!'"
Addressing her "Dear Comrade" co-star, she wrote, "Mr. Vijay Deverakonda!!
The man who taught me what true love feels like, The man who showed me what being in peace feels like! The man who told me everyday that dreaming big was absolutely ok and constantly telling me I was capable of achieving something much more than what I could possibly think I ever could!
