Nearly four weeks after their intimate wedding in Udaipur, newlyweds Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda have given the internet yet another moment to cherish. A candid photograph from their honeymoon in Thailand surfaced on social media on Friday, March 21, and promptly went viral with fans across the country reacting with an outpouring of warmth and adoration for the couple fondly known as Virosh.
The photograph, which appears to have been taken at their private villa in Koh Samui, shows the couple sharing a quiet, unhurried embrace on a sunlit staircase, surrounded by lush tropical greenery. Rashmika is seen dressed in a breezy yellow floral dress, radiant against the sun-drenched setting, while Vijay stands close beside her the image a picture of contentment and ease. There is a naturalness to the moment that struck a chord with fans who have followed their relationship over the years; this was not a posed or curated image but a glimpse of a real, private moment that made its way into the public domain.
Rashmika and Vijay, who tied the knot on February 26, 2026 at the Mementos by ITC Hotels – Ekaaya in Udaipur in an intimate ceremony called The Wedding of Virosh, had subsequently hosted a star-studded reception in Hyderabad on March 4. Before returning to work commitments, the couple escaped to Thailand for a brief getaway their first as a married couple.
The honeymoon respite was, by all accounts, a short one. Both stars have since returned to Hyderabad and resumed their respective professional commitments at full pace. Rashmika has already resumed shooting for Mysaa, the high-voltage action thriller directed by Rawindra Pulle, in which she plays a Gond tribal woman one of the most physically and emotionally demanding roles of her career.
Looking further ahead, both stars are preparing to share the screen once again in Ranabaali, a much-anticipated romantic drama that is set to begin its shoot this month. For fans who fell in love with the chemistry of Rashmika and Vijay in Geetha Govindam and Dear Comrade, Ranabaali carries the promise of rekindling that magic this time with the real-life dimension of their marriage adding an entirely new layer of resonance. The film is slated for a theatrical release on September 11, 2026.
For now, though, it is the photograph from Koh Samui that has captured imaginations. In a world of carefully staged celebrity social media content, an unguarded, sunlit moment of a newlywed couple in a tropical paradise is, apparently, all that was needed to make the internet pause and smile.
