For the uninitiated, Rashmika and Rakshit fell in love during the shoot of Kirik Party where they played the lead roles. After a whirlwind romance, the couple got engaged in 2017. However, in 2018, Rashmika and Rakshit broke off their engagement which led to heartbreak for their fans.
Several people blamed Rashmika for the breakup. But Rakshit released a statement and urged fans to stop blaming her. He wrote, "You all have formed opinions about Rashmika. I don’t blame any of you because that’s how it is projected. I have known Rashmika for more than two years and I have known her better than any of you. There are many factors that are acting here. Please stop judging her. Please let her be in peace."
