Rakshit Shetty and Rashmika Mandanna have long moved on from their breakup, but parts of the internet still refuse to let go. Years later, Trollers continue to drag their past into every new chapter of their lives.
Rakshit Shetty is thriving both professionally and personally. He’s earning in crores and reportedly in a happy relationship. Rashmika Mandanna is equally successful, signing major films and endorsements, with strong rumours about her engagement to Vijay Deverakonda.
The engagement buzz between Rashmika and Vijay should have been a happy moment for fans. Instead, a section of Kannada fandom reignited old trolling, linking her past with Rakshit Shetty in yet another round of online toxicity.
Rashmika and Rakshit’s story is well known. They met during Kirik Party, got engaged in July 2017, and parted ways amicably in September 2018 due to compatibility issues. Both handled the split maturely and moved ahead with mutual respect.
However, in 2020, when rumours of Rashmika’s relationship with Vijay surfaced, sections of social media revived the old narrative. Since then, every milestone in her life seems to attract misplaced negativity tied to a past long settled.
The irony is hard to miss. Rakshit Shetty has achieved major success and enjoys a strong fan following. Rashmika Mandanna has become one of India’s most popular actresses. Yet, some toxic users continue to recycle old gossip, refusing to let them live freely.
Both actors have shown dignity and grace through it all. The real question is whether those spreading negativity will ever move on — because Rakshit and Rashmika clearly already have.
