The celebrations around the much-talked-about wedding of Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna continue to capture attention across the country. After an intimate wedding ceremony and traditional rituals with family members, the newly married couple is now hosting a series of gatherings to celebrate their union with people who have been part of their journey.

Ahead of their grand wedding reception scheduled for the evening of March 14 at Taj Krishna in Hyderabad, Vijay and Rashmika organized a special interaction and party exclusively for media personnel. The reception itself is expected to be a high-profile affair, with several political leaders, including Chief Ministers and senior dignitaries, among the invited guests. Due to the presence of such prominent personalities, tight security arrangements have been put in place for the evening event.

To ensure they could spend meaningful time with journalists without the rush of the reception, the couple chose to meet the media earlier in the day. The interaction quickly turned into a warm and emotional moment, reflecting both gratitude and pride.

During the conversation, Vijay Deverakonda spoke fondly about the role Telugu media has played in shaping his career. The actor acknowledged the long journey from his early films to becoming one of the most loved stars in the industry. “The Telugu media will always be home for me,” Vijay said, expressing heartfelt appreciation for the support he has received over the years.

What truly stole the spotlight, however, was his affectionate remark about his wife. Smiling proudly beside Rashmika, Vijay said that the Telugu land has received a “good kodalu,” referring to her as the perfect Teluginti Kodalu. The comment instantly warmed the room and drew applause from the gathered journalists.

Speaking about her marriage, Rashmika expressed happiness about entering this new phase of life with Vijay and said she feels grateful for the love pouring in from fans across the country.

The couple’s heartfelt interaction and Vijay’s sweet description of Rashmika as the perfect Teluginti Kodalu have quickly gone viral on social media, with fans celebrating the moment as another glimpse into the pair’s much-loved chemistry and affection for each other.
