Rakshit Shetty is a famous Kannada actor who has a large fanbase for his entertaining films. The actor’s film ‘Kirik Party’ which also starred Rashmika, gave the actress a break and recognition in South cinema. Post which she was unstoppable. She is easily one of the most wanted actresses in Tollywood and Kollywood today apart from Kannada films. The 36-year-old star, however, dated the ‘Geetha Govindham’ actress and they were all set to get engaged in the year 2017. However, due to compatibility issues, the actress called off the engagement. Some also state that Rashmika wanted to concentrate on her career due to which she had to take the decision of parting ways.While Rashmika had already spoken out about the same, Rakshith never did.

The couple, however, have remained good friends ever since. On Rashmika’s birthday, Rakshit Shetty posted a rather thoughtful tweet of her from her Kannada film Kirik Party. “Sharing this beautiful memory of yours from the @KirikParty audition. You have travelled so far since then, chasing you’r dreams like a real worrier. Proud of you girl and Happy Birthday to you. May you see more success,” he wrote as he shared this video.

Post their very public breakup in 2018, Rashmika had also taken it to social media to talk about her relationship after she was mercilessly trolled by the actor’s fans for her private decisions. She stated, “Sorry I’ve been silent for so long..but I’ve been watching a lot of stories, articles, comments, and trolls about me..it has been disturbing me on how I was being portrayed and everything blew out of proportion and yes I definitely don’t blame you guys for it..because that’s what you’d believe and I am not here to justify anything or anyone..just want to tell you guys that Rakshit, me or anyone in the industry should not go through this. And also need to add that just as how every coin has two sides, so does every story. Please let us who work in our industry, work with a little peace of mind. That’s my two cents, let me conclude by saying I will CONTINUE DOING KANNADA FILMS… I AM HERE TO STAY.. be it any language, any industry, I’ll give my best shot.. thank you.”
