The news left their fans in shock and many blamed the actress for the failed engagement with Rakshit.
In an old interview, Rashmika's mother Suman Mandanna revealed the real reason for the separation. The couple were facing compatibility issues and hence decided to part ways mutually and called off the engagement.
During that time actor-director, Rakshit was off the social media grid for a while, but had to come back and clarify the situation with a heartfelt note. He also asked fans to stop judging Rashmika for the break-up.
Rakshit 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 (SIC).”
