What makes ‘Serenity’ Bungalow special?
Located near Virajpet in Karnataka, the bungalow reflects its name, serene, private and rooted in nature. For Rashmika, the property is much more than a luxury property; It represents a personal sanctuary and connection to his hometown. Sources close to the family say the house was chosen with their busy schedules in mind, providing a place to stay away from the public eye.
How did Rashmika celebrate her 30th birthday?
Rashmika kept the celebrations traditional and community-centric. Dressed in ethnic attire, she spent the day with family, relatives and local community members. The family organized food and distributed sweets among the locals along with the announcement of scholarships for meritorious students – turning the occasion into a big community celebration rather than a private function.
What happened at the Coorg reception?
The celebrations continued a day later, when Rashmika and her husband, Vijay Deverakonda, hosted a private reception in Coorg on April 6. Held at Serenity Convention Hall in Virajpet, the event was attended by family and friends. Rashmika wore a pink and olive green Kodava style saree, while Vijay chose a black blazer with a white shirt.
Videos of the reception surfaced online, with one clip showing the couple walking hand-in-hand with their family, drawing attention for its intimate and restrained tone.
It’s been a busy year for Rashmika and Vijay, who got married on February 26 in Udaipur in a multi-day ceremony that was a mix of Telugu and Kodava traditions. They later hosted a grand reception in Hyderabad on 4 March. On the professional front, the pair will reunite for Raanabali, directed by Rahul Sankrityayan, which is scheduled to release on September 11.
