In the world of showbiz, where relationships often make headlines, actor-filmmaker Rakshit Shetty and Rashmika Mandanna's story is one of maturity and friendship that has endured even after the end of their engagement. Recently, Rakshit Shetty shared insights into their continued connection, revealing that they still exchange messages and well-wishes.
Rakshit Shetty, who is currently riding high on the success of his latest Kannada film, "Sapta Sagardaache Ello: Side A," opened up about his present equation with Rashmika Mandanna during an interview with IndiaGlitz Telugu. The two were engaged in 2017 but decided to call off their wedding a year later.
When asked about their current relationship, Rakshit said, "Me and Rashmika, we message each other once in a while. Not like in constant touch, but whenever my film is releasing, she messages and wishes me the best. And, whenever her film releases, I wish her. On birthdays, we exchange wishes."
Their story began when Rashmika and Rakshit worked together on the Kannada film "Kirik Party" in 2016. Their romance blossomed during this time, and they got engaged in July 2017. However, by September 2018, they mutually decided to part ways, citing compatibility issues. Despite the separation, their ability to maintain a friendly connection is a testament to their maturity and respect for each other.
Rashmika Mandanna, who has since ventured into Bollywood with projects like "Goodbye" alongside Amitabh Bachchan and "Mission Majnu" with Sidharth Malhotra, has been linked to various co-stars. However, she has consistently denied these reports. In a previous interview, Rashmika mentioned that she remains on good terms with her ex-boyfriends and even meets their current partners without any qualms.
Currently, Rashmika is gearing up for the release of the action thriller "Animal," in which she stars alongside Ranbir Kapoor, Bobby Deol, and Anil Kapoor. She recently shared a poster from the film, marking her first look. "Animal" is set to hit theaters on December 1 in five languages, including Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam.
The amicable relationship between Rakshit Shetty and Rashmika Mandanna serves as a refreshing reminder that even when personal relationships evolve, mutual respect and friendship can endure, creating a positive example in the often tumultuous world of the entertainment industry.
