What is the story about?
Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna, who recently tied the knot, are emerging as one of the most loved celebrity couples in the South. The Geetha Govindam
stars, who had promised to support rural students through scholarships, visited Thummanpet village in Telangana's Achampet Mandal on Sunday to honour school kids under their initiative. Dressed in traditional attire, the couple arrived at the school to meet 180 children who made their parents proud with their academic achievements. Apart from their generous gesture towards the students, their charming chemistry on stage quickly became the talking point of the event.
Vijay Deverakonda-Rashmika Mandanna's Sweet PDA
Dressed in a mustard and violet saree, Rashmika looked elegant. She kept her look minimal with little to no makeup and accessorised it with gold jewellery. Vijay, meanwhile, opted for a blush-pink kurta paired with trousers.
Rashmika couldn't stop doting on her husband at the event. The couple appeared visibly uncomfortable in the extremely hot weather. As Vijay tried to stay composed, wife Rashmika came to his rescue. In a sweet moment, she was seen wiping the sweat off his face with a tissue before dabbing her own face. She also helped fix Vijay's moustache, leaving him smiling. The adorable moment quickly went viral on social media.

Meanwhile, at the event, Vijay said that the scholarship was a small gift, but it held great significance for him. He shared that he wanted to be a part of the students' lives and hoped to expand the initiative across Telangana in the future. Calling it his dream, Vijay said he wanted to celebrate the discipline, hard work and focus that had helped the students achieve academic success.
Rashmika also congratulated the students and expressed her excitement about the initiative. She said that although she would keep her speech brief, the day marked the beginning of something meaningful through The Deverakonda Foundation. She revealed that they had chosen to launch the programme from Achampet and Thummanpet, her father-in-law's village. Introducing herself as Rashmika Mandanna Deverakonda, she said she was thrilled to be part of the initiative.
