Overview

• Deverakonda and Mandanna served as Grand Marshals for the 43rd India Day Parade on August 17, leading the Madison Avenue procession and waving India’s tricolour alongside Congressman Shri Thanedar and Mayor Eric Adams.
• A widely shared video captured the duo holding hands, talking and laughing, prompting thousands of social media reactions and fan edits under the portmanteau “Virosh.”
• This marked their first joint public outing in years after subtle social-media hints and separate comments about their relationship status, though neither actor has confirmed dating rumors.
• They arrived in coordinated beige ensembles—Deverakonda in an embroidered sherwani and Mandanna in a matching suit with a red dupatta—that drew focused media commentary.
• Coverage connected the parade appearance to their past collaborations in Geetha Govindam and Dear Comrade and noted their reported reunion on Rahul Sankrityan’s tentatively titled VD 14.
