Vijay Deverakonda’s wedding has not only delighted fans but also moved those closest to him — especially his brother, Anand Deverakonda.

Shortly after Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda shared their heartfelt wedding announcement, Anand Deverakonda took to Instagram to pen an emotional note welcoming his new sister-in-law into the family.

Posting joyful moments from the ceremony, he gave fans a glimpse into the family’s happiness.

Another image captures the couple mid-ritual, laughing together during the ceremony, comfortable and completely in sync.

But it was Anand Deverakonda’s caption that truly resonated. “There were so many times when fans would shout, ‘Vadina, ela unaru?’ and I never quite knew how to react. Today, my brother is married , and I’ve gained the most positive and compassionate person as my Vadina. I pray that for the rest of their lives, they continue to smile just like this. To a lifetime together! ”

For years, fans had affectionately referred to Rashmika Mandanna as “Vadina” — the Telugu word for sister-in-law — long before the couple confirmed their relationship publicly.

What stands out most is the sincerity. Anand Deverakonda did not focus on glamour or celebrity — he spoke about gaining a “positive and compassionate” sister-in-law.

The wedding itself, held in Udaipur, was traditional and intimate, filled with rituals, laughter and close family. But Anand Deverakonda’s post reminds fans that beyond the public fascination, this is ultimately about family.

The wedding took place on February 26 in Udaipur during an auspicious Telugu muhuratam at 10 am, with Vedic chants and blessings from elders marking the sacred moment.

From co-stars in Geetha Govindam and Dear Comrade to partners in life — and soon collaborators again in Ranabaali — Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda’s journey has come full circle, now rooted in love and shared dreams.
