Vijay Deverakonda’s Protective Gesture for Rashmika Mandanna at Reception Goes Viral after ‘Udhar Dekh’ Remark
A candid moment between Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna from their wedding reception in Hyderabad is doing the rounds on social media. While clicking a photo together for the paparazzi, Vijay moved a step ahead of Rashmika and jokingly told the paparazzi “udhar dekh.”
The couple was in a jovial mood despite being crowded by the paparazzi when they were clicking a photo together. In a viral video, Vijay can be seen for a moment raising his hand and telling the paparazzi to look elsewhere as many cameras clicked their photographs.
The short clip has sent fans into frenzy on various social media platforms.
A Light Moment During the Photo Session
The reception drew a large number of photographers hoping to capture the couple’s first public appearance after their wedding. As Vijay and Rashmika arrived and stood together for pictures, the media gathered close to the stage.
In the middle of the photo session, Vijay appeared to notice the crowd of cameras pressing forward. He stepped ahead of Rashmika and gestured toward the photographers while saying “udhar dekh”, apparently trying to ease the situation.
Those around the couple laughed at the remark. Rashmika appeared relaxed and continued posing beside Vijay as the photographers resumed clicking pictures.
The short video from the reception soon began circulating widely online. Several fan pages and entertainment handles reposted the clip, calling the moment spontaneous and playful.
Reception Welcomes Several Film Personalities
The reception turned into a gathering of several Telugu film industry figures. Actors including Chiranjeevi, Ram Charan and Allu Arjun were among those who attended the celebration.
Guests arrived through the evening to congratulate the couple and greet them on stage. Photographs and videos from the event showed the newlyweds interacting with friends, colleagues and industry seniors.
For the reception, Rashmika Mandanna wore a red and gold saree paired with traditional jewellery. Vijay chose a cream kurta with a dhoti-style bottom. The couple posed together for photographs with guests throughout the evening.
A Relationship that Drew Attention for Years
Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna first worked on-screen for the 2018 Telugu movie Geetha Govindam, which turned out to be a commercial success. Their on-screen chemistry received positive feedback from the audience despite a mixed reaction from critics.
They again shared the screen for the 2019 movie Dear Comrade. The couple has managed to keep their relationship private over the years, avoiding direct comments on the rumors about their relationship.
Then came the dreamy wedding last week which confirmed their relationship, finally ending all the speculations.
The couple’s first public celebration since their wedding took place at the reception held in Hyderabad, where their brief conversation with photographers has turned out to be one of the highlights of the evening.
