Old remarks made by Suman Mandanna about her daughter Rashmika Mandanna’s past relationship with Rakshit Shetty have resurfaced online, reigniting discussion about their widely talked about breakup.

Rashmika and Rakshit first met while working on the Kannada hit Kirik Party and soon became one of the most loved couples in the South film industry. The two even got engaged in 2017 but later parted ways in 2018.

In a past comment that has now gone viral again, Suman Mandanna had claimed that Rashmika faced immense pressure during that phase. She suggested that Rakshit had allegedly asked Rashmika to quit acting and questioned why her daughter was being blamed for decisions about her career and personal life.

The old statement has resurfaced at a time when Rashmika is already facing renewed online scrutiny after private chats believed to be from nearly eight years ago were leaked on social media. Screenshots of the alleged conversation circulated widely, sparking fresh debate among users.

Addressing the controversy, Rashmika recently issued a strong statement saying she had endured years of misinformation and targeted harassment online. The actor revealed that for nearly eight years she had chosen silence despite repeated attempts to twist her words and create narratives around her personal life.

According to Rashmika, the resurfacing of a private conversation from the past without the knowledge or consent of those involved crossed a line. She stated that a small portion of an old private conversation had been taken out of context and deliberately circulated to fuel controversy.

The actor also expressed concern that the matter had begun affecting people close to her, including family members who had nothing to do with the issue.

In her statement, Rashmika requested media platforms, influencers and individuals sharing the alleged chats or related narratives to remove the content within twenty four hours. She warned that if the circulation continued she would be forced to take legal action against those responsible for spreading what she described as misleading and privacy violating material.

While the resurfaced comments and leaked chats have triggered fresh conversations online, many fans have also come out in support of the actor, urging people to respect her privacy and focus on her work rather than past personal controversies.

Despite the noise on social media, Rashmika Mandanna continues to remain one of the most sought after actors in Indian cinema today, balancing projects across multiple industries while maintaining a massive fan following.
