Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda — fondly called “Virosh” by fans — are making headlines as their wedding approaches. But their love story began with a moment that Rashmika once described as nervous and unforgettable.
In an interview, Rashmika revealed that her first on-screen kiss was in Geetha Govindam. She said a kiss is a very personal and intimate thing for her, and nearly 200 people were watching during the shoot. She admitted feeling extremely nervous and added that Vijay felt the same way, as both wondered how they would perform the scene.
Rashmika explained that such scenes are technical and should only be done if required by the character. In the film, the characters were married, making the scene necessary, though it was shocking for her personally.
Their friendship began during Geetha Govindam in 2018 and grew stronger during Dear Comrade. The duo kept their relationship private for years while fans lovingly named them “Virosh.”
Now, ahead of their wedding, the couple has officially confirmed their relationship, turning their reel-life chemistry into a real-life love story.
