Pramod Shetty laughed sarcastically and stated, "I haven't received Rashmika's wedding invitation yet. If I get it, I'll go. We know she won’t invite us, nothing new. As for Rakshit Shetty, he’s not a kid eating chocolate and sitting around feeling guilty about it."

Check out: A user remarked, "Pramod Shetty." "What a cheap man, buddy! Set some standards!" Another wrote, "I hope you have some maturity, Pramod. There is a way to talk publicly about someone. “This isn't the right way.”

Why should the media question? 
Andddd why should she invite???
Rakshith avru move agirtare , Rasmika kooda. But people on the internet won't and the media won't .
Who'll invite their ex boyfriend, fiancee and his friends to their wedding after breaking up . They both are good.

A third user added, "You all including public have harassed her. Why she will invite those who harass or abuse or shame her? She never said that she does not know Kannada." "Wtf knows this uncle outside Karnataka.. Idk how Rakshit has a chapri friend like him," read another comment.

Sorry Boomer Uncle, she rejected your groomer friend. How many more years will you seek publicity using her name ??
