Rashmika responded saying, "Ahhhh.. I remember this sooooo clearly.. thankyou so much @rakshitshetty".

For the unversed, Rashmika and Rakshit had gotten engaged in 2017 but broke up in September 2018. According to reports, they fell in love during the shoot of the film 'Kirik Party'. 

After the official announcement of their break-up, many fans blamed Rashmika and left harsh comments for her on social media. At the time, Rashmika had released a statement on Twitter expressing her shock over the trolling and negative articles on her. Her ex-fiance Rakshit also spoke about the same and asked fans to stop blaming her for the break-up.

On the work front, Rashmika is set to make her Bollywood debut with 'Mission Majnu' co-starring Sidharth Malhotra. She is currently working alongside Bollywood icon Amitabh Bachchan for the upcoming film 'Goodbye'.
