Secrecy, privacy, and speculations— that’s how Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda’s rumoured wedding celebrations are taking shape. The South Indian celebrity couple is believed to marry on February 26 in a private Udaipur wedding, choosing intimacy over extravaganza with a reportedly grand reception on March 4 in Hyderabad.
The latest development is that the celebrity couple is moving away from the typical spectacle to make it a tightly intimate affair. They have roped in an international security agency to safeguard privacy and prevent leaks. The overseas security team is expected to work alongside local Rajasthan authorities to manage access and secure the purported wedding venue in Udaipur. The guest list is said to be minimal, with only close family and friends. Industry colleagues are unlikely to be in attendance.

To extend a layer of privacy, phones are reportedly prohibited, and even the photography team is said to be operating under non-disclosure agreements. Vendors are also bound by strict confidentiality. Only a handful of people are believed to know the full details of Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda’s wedding venue, making it one of the most closely guarded celebrity weddings in recent memory. Fan accounts have already started to create AI images of the couple at a destination wedding venue in Udaipur, leading the Internet into a frenzy.
Previously, the couple’s wedding was in the news for the alleged leak of wedding invitations, sparking wedding rumours on date, venue and reception details. Even until now, Mandanna and Deverakonda have kept mum on their official wedding announcement.
In an age where constant visibility comes with stardom, many celebrity couples choose to protect their personal life from public glare. The frenzy of paparazzi, social media speculation, and round-the-clock news coverage can quickly turn a joyous moment into anxiety, prompting celebrities to opt for a private wedding.

Several Indian public figures have taken a similar route. Shahid Kapoor and Mira Rajput’s wedding in 2015 was a low-key affair in Delhi, followed by a grand Mumbai reception. Aditya Chopra and Rani Mukerji surprised fans with a quiet ceremony in Italy in 2014 attended by just a small group of guests. Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma also chose an intimate destination wedding in Tuscany in 2017 before celebrating with larger gatherings later.

Actor Swara Bhasker, too, kept her marriage to activist Fahad Ahmad under wraps, tying the knot in a private court ceremony before sharing the news publicly. Together, these choices reflect a growing trend among high-profile personalities to save their personal moments from public scrutiny.
