A Glimpse of the Schoolgirl She Once Was
In the viral photo, a young Rashmika is seen wearing a crisp school uniform complete with a tie and a name badge. Her hair is neatly tied back in a ponytail, and her gentle smile reflects innocence and discipline. This nostalgic image stands in stark contrast to her present-day persona, which is confident, stylish, and glamorous, showcasing her remarkable transformation over the years.
From Coorg to National Stardom
Born in Virajpet, Karnataka, Rashmika completed her schooling at Coorg Public School before venturing into modelling. Her life changed dramatically after she won the prestigious Times Fresh Face title in 2014. Soon after, she made her acting debut with the Kannada blockbuster 'Kirik Party' in 2016, which marked the beginning of her rise to fame.
She quickly gained prominence in Telugu cinema with hits like 'Geetha Govindam', 'Dear Comrade', and 'Sarileru Neekevvaru'. Later, she expanded her career into Hindi films, appearing in 'Goodbye' alongside Amitabh Bachchan and gaining massive attention for her role in 'Animal' with Ranbir Kapoor. With major projects lined up, her career trajectory continues to soar, solidifying her status as a leading actress in Indian cinema.
Wedding Announcement That Melted Hearts

Before we made any plans, before we chose anything for ourselves — you were already there. With so much love, you gave us a name. You called us ‘Virosh’. So today — with full hearts — we name our coming together in your honour.”
They added, “We would like to name it ‘The Wedding of VIROSH’. Thank you for holding us with so much love. You are a part of us — always. Biggest hugs and full love!” This emotional announcement has deeply touched their followers, who have long supported the couple.
Inside the Upcoming Wedding Celebrations
The couple had a quiet engagement in Hyderabad last October and are set to marry on February 26 at a heritage palace in Udaipur, as per reports. Industry friends and colleagues are expected to attend a grand reception later in Hyderabad. Their relationship, which has been rumoured since their films together, has long fascinated fans, and this confirmation has only heightened the anticipation for their nuptials.
