Rashmika Mandanna is one of the most popular new and upcoming faces of South Cinema. She rose to fame from the Kannada film Kirik Party and was recognised as a popular face of the South when she debuted in the Telugu film Geetha Govindam. What struck the audience more than her bubbly roles was the chemistry between Rashmika and her two-film costar Vijay Deverakonda. In fact things escalated so much that fans held the actor responsible for her breakup with her ex-fiance and Kannada star Rakshit Shetty. However, both have sternly clarified and rubbished baseless rumours.

Looks like it that these rumours about the couple dating has resurfaced again and Rashmika decided to give a fitting response and put an end to these speculations. “This is for all those who keep putting my name with everyone I know .. I am single.. and I love it,” stated Rashmika. She also talked about how important it is to feel full and content when being single. “This is also me telling all those who crib about being single.. trust me when you start having fun being single..your standards for your love keep getting high,” the actress said.

Rashmika Mandanna was engaged to Rakshit Shetty before she entered the Telugu film industry. However, difference of opinion had them part ways. During a recent interview, the Avane Srimannarayana actor opened up about his relationship and how it failed.

Life gives you a lot of experiences, sometimes it is a good experience and sometimes it is bad. But every experience you have to cherish and move forward because they come for a reason…the whole purpose of life is to be a better human being and in that process, there will be a lot of learning…there will be a lot of heartbreaks not only in relationships but also in friendships…You have to move on because ultimately these are very small things in life…life has a bigger purpose.”

When the actor was asked if he would work with his ex again, he said, “People come to one’s life to teach you some lessons in life. I think I had a big lesson to learn and Rashmika came into my life. Probably, she also had to learn a big lesson from me. We learned from each other and moved on. That is life. Imagine we are friends. We worked together for 4-5 months. Definitely, I might have learned something from you. Something really brought us together which is why we became friends. Once the learning process is over, there is no purpose to stay together. Sometimes, we take different paths.”

Well the couple is now professionally and personally in a better space now. Rashmika is all set to make her Tamil debut with actor Karthi’s film Sultan which will be directed by Bakkiyaraj Kannan of Remo fame.
