When Vijay Was Scared to Put a Mangalsutra on Rashmika on Screen, He Sweated

Actress Rashmika Mandanna's recent wedding with Vijay Deverakonda became a hot topic online, stirring excitement among fans, especially as Vijay reminisced about a challenging wedding sequence they filmed before tying the knot.

Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda's marriage has been the talk of the internet, especially following their lavish wedding in Udaipur. After keeping their relationship private for seven years, the newlyweds have received congratulations from all directions, and their wedding photos have captured the attention of fans. However, what many might not know is that before their real wedding, the couple had shot a wedding sequence in the film 'Geeta Govindam', where Vijay admitted he felt nervous while filming the scene where he had to tie a mangalsutra around Rashmika's neck.

During the shooting of the wedding scene in 'Geeta Govindam', Vijay experienced anxiety, particularly when he had to perform the ritual of tying three knots in the mangalsutra, a tradition in Telugu weddings. He expressed that simply sitting in the 'Pelli Mandapam' (wedding pavilion) was not too daunting, but the pressure of getting the intricate ritual right was overwhelming. This reflection not only highlights his apprehensions at the time but also adds a layer of authenticity to their onscreen chemistry, which resonated well with the audience and contributed to the film's success.

The film 'Geeta Govindam', which marked the duo's first appearance together, went on to become a major hit at the box office, showcasing their dynamic chemistry. This behind-the-scenes revelation sheds light on the authentic emotions the actors brought to their roles, suggesting that the bond they developed during filming may have played a role in their eventual off-screen relationship and marriage.
