Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna sealed their love in two magical wedding ceremonies on Thursday, much to the joy of fans and members of the film fraternity. Soon after tying the knot in Udaipur, the couple shared breathtaking glimpses from their traditional wedding, and the response was nothing short of historic.
Within just three hours of posting, their combined wedding pictures amassed an astonishing 29.9 million likes on Instagram.
Vijay’s post alone garnered 13.6 million likes, while Rashmika’s soared even higher to 16.3 million. With these numbers, the newlyweds have unofficially established a new milestone for the most-liked Indian celebrity wedding photos on the platform.
Previously, the record was held by Kiara Advani and Sidharth Malhotra, whose combined wedding posts had crossed 27.5 million likes. Kiara’s much-loved “permanent booking” image alone received 15.7 million likes, while Sidharth’s wedding post secured 11.8 million.

However, Vijay and Rashmika’s figures have now surpassed them all — and in record time.
On Thursday evening, Rashmika shared a stunning series of wedding portraits on Instagram, and the couple looked nothing short of divine and surreal. Introducing Vijay as her husband for the first time, she proudly wrote, "My Husband, Mr. Vijay Deverakonda." She described him as the man who showed her what genuine love and peace feel like, adding that her life, struggles, and achievements now hold deeper meaning because he stands beside her. She ended her heartfelt message with, "Let's have the bestestest life ever together!"
Vijay, too, poured his heart out in an emotional note accompanying his post. He wrote, "One day, I missed her. Missed her in a way that made me feel like my day would’ve been better if she were around. Like my meals would’ve felt more wholesome if she were sitting across from me.Like my workouts would’ve 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."
The celebrations are far from over. Rashmika and Vijay are set to host a grand wedding reception on March 4 in Hyderabad, expected to be a star-studded affair attended by prominent celebrities from across industries.
