Newlyweds Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda turned their wedding into a nationwide celebration by sending specially curated sweet boxes to fans across major cities on March 1. The packaging, popularly called ‘Firosh’, carries a personal touch and a heartfelt message from the couple, along with a photo of their wedding in traditional attire.
The box consists of sweets, namely ladoos, creamy mawa peda, and a variety of ancient Indian sweets. This is the concept that the newlyweds prepared for and is their idea of spreading joy in the most traditional way.
A gesture of gratitude
The distribution of sweets is part of a larger Thanksgiving plan by the couple, who have also arranged Annadanam at 16 temples across the country. According to the Free Press Journal, the idea, they shared in their joint message, was to celebrate their wedding with the people who have supported them throughout their journey.
Even at their intimate wedding in Udaipur on February 26, they made sure the celebrations extended beyond the venue by offering sweets to members of the media present nearby.
From a small wedding celebration, it has become a large eulogy for food, customs and gratitude.
Rashmika Vijay’s village arrival and a new, sacred beginning
The celebrations continued when the couple traveled to Vijay’s hometown, Thumanpet in Telangana, to attend the gruhapravesam and Satyanarayana Vratam ceremony. Their arrival was welcomed with traditional Harati folk performances and the presence of hundreds of villagers who gathered to bless them. The rituals marked the beginning of their married life, with Rashmika and Vijay dressed in beautiful and traditional clothes, and guests were welcomed. But were the fans emotional, as seen in the concert photos, and merging their status with tradition?
All eyes are on the grand reception, now scheduled for March 4
With the sweets arriving in 22 cities and temple offerings, the next big event is their wedding in Hyderabad on March 4. The event, which will bring together guests from many film industries and public life, will be held as an invitation-only event following security advisories due to overwhelming fan excitement. From intimate vows in Udaipur to nationwide candy boxes and traditional homecomings, every step of Virosh’s wedding journey reflected a simple idea: celebrating love by including everyone in it.
