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.
