It has been rumoured that Rashmika Mandanna and her boyfriend Rakshit Shetty (Sandalwood filmmaker) have parted ways. While the 'Geetha Govindam' actress is silent on the issue, Rakshit has opened up.

He has said that "what has been playing from the last couple of days has been literally snatching away everything a person loved and lived for!" Does this mean their relationship is still on?

"You all have formed opinions about Rashmika. I don’t blame any of you because that’s how it is projected. Every one of us believes what we see and what is said. But it need not be true. Most of the time we come to a conclusion without even thinking from another perspective. I have known Rashmika for more than two years and I have known her better than any of you. There are many factors which are acting here. Please stop judging her. Please let her be in peace," he has urged the media.

"I hope everything comes to a conclusion soon and you all will know the reality. Please don’t go by any media news. None of them has first-hand information from me or Rashmika herself. Many are creating their own news for their requirement. Assumptions are not reality," he added.
