Rashmika Mandanna gets Serenity bungalow from father on 30th birthday

Actor Rashmika Mandanna marked her 30th birthday with a deeply personal moment that quickly became the highlight of her celebrations. During an intimate gathering in her hometown of Virajpet on April 5, Rashmika was surprised by her father, Madan Mandanna, who gifted her a bungalow named “Serenity” near the town.

The unexpected gesture left the actor visibly emotional, as the home, situated close to her roots, symbolises both a return to where it all began and the start of a new chapter. Named “Serenity”, the bungalow is described as a quiet retreat, carrying strong emotional value as a family gift tied to her upbringing.

What makes the ‘Serenity’ bungalow special?

Located near Virajpet in Karnataka, the bungalow reflects its name, calm, private, and rooted in nature. For Rashmika, the property is more than a luxury asset; it represents a personal sanctuary and a connection to her hometown. Sources close to the family indicate that the home was chosen keeping her busy schedule in mind, offering a space to unwind away from the public eye.

How did Rashmika celebrate her 30th birthday?

Rashmika kept the celebrations traditional and community-focused. Dressed in ethnic attire, she spent the day with family, relatives, and members of the local community. The family also organised meals and distributed sweets among locals, alongside announcing scholarships for meritorious students—turning the occasion into a larger community celebration rather than a private affair.

What happened at the Coorg reception?

The celebrations continued a day later, as Rashmika and her husband, Vijay Deverakonda, hosted a private reception in Coorg on April 6. Held at the Serenity Convention Hall in Virajpet, the event was a close-knit gathering attended by family and friends. Rashmika wore a pink and olive green Kodava-style saree, while Vijay opted for a black blazer paired with a white shirt.

Videos from the reception surfaced online, with one clip showing the couple walking hand-in-hand with their families, drawing attention for its intimate and understated tone.

Rashmika and Vijay, who married on February 26 in Udaipur in a multi-day ceremony blending Telugu and Kodava traditions, have had a packed year. They later hosted a grand reception in Hyderabad on March 4. On the professional front, the duo will reunite for Ranabaali, directed by Rahul Sankrityan, scheduled for release on September 11.
