Recently, a purported audio clip of Rashmika Mandanna’s mother, Suman Mandanna, went popular on social media, sparking a new controversy around the actress. According to reports, Suman discusses incidents involving Rashmika’s previous engagement with actor Rakshit Shetty in the clip.
Only a few weeks after Rashmika was reportedly married to actor Vijay Deverakonda on February 26 of this year, the audio recording began making the rounds on the internet. Nonetheless, a number of reports indicate that the video is not current. It is thought to have been extracted from an old interview that Suman Mandanna had approximately eight years ago with a Kannada news channel.
Rashmika reacted forcefully to the situation as the video swiftly became viral on social media. The actress criticized the disclosure of what she described as an outdated and private chat in a statement. She voiced concern over the dissemination of such content without appropriate context.

The Relationship Timeline of Rakshit Shetty and Rashmika Mandanna
Rakshit Shetty and Rashmika Mandanna initially collaborated on the 2016 Kannada movie Kirik Party. The two actors grew close during the production and subsequently began dating. When the pair announced their engagement in 2017, fans and the media took notice.
Their relationship, however, was short-lived. Both actors formally announced their decision to call it quits on their engagement in 2018. They begged supporters to respect their privacy and said it was a mutual choice.
An old interview clip is back online.
The audio tape that has lately gone viral is thought to be from an old interview that Rashmika’s mother, Suman Mandanna, gave. Senior cinema journalist Mahesh Devishetty reportedly conducted the interview, which Oneindia subsequently reported.
Suman Mandanna discussed the time when Rashmika and Rakshit became engaged during the interview. She said that despite Rashmika’s youth at the time, the family had first encouraged the relationship.
Family Disagreement Claims
Suman claimed in the interview that throughout the engagement period, tensions between the two families started to increase. She claimed that there were multiple disputes and conflicts that led to issues in the relationship.
She added that Rakshit allegedly attempted to sway Rashmika’s career choices and occasionally reacted angrily to trivial matters.
Geetha Govindam-Related Allegations
Additionally, Suman Mandanna discussed a scenario involving the movie Geetha Govindam. She claimed that Rashmika was under pressure to announce her decision to stop acting on social media after receiving the movie deal.
She also mentioned an incident that she said caused the family much distress. She claims that Rakshit and his manager called Rashmika late on the night before Geetha Govindam was released. They allegedly requested that she go straight from Hyderabad to Bengaluru to meet him.
These assertions are from an earlier interview that has lately surfaced online and generated conversations on social media.
Suman Mandanna’s Interview Claims
Suman Mandanna discussed the alleged conflicts that arose between the families of Rakshit Shetty and Rashmika Mandanna during their engagement in the interview tape. She claimed that little disputes between the family gradually escalated into major confrontations.
Suman stated that Rakshit disagreed with her and did not stand by her during one such instance. She further said that one of the demands made of Rashmika was that she publicly declare on social media that she will stop performing after getting married.
Suman asked why her daughter was being held accountable for the circumstances during the poignant Kannada interview. She added that she was asked to apologize by several family members, but she refused as she didn’t think she had done anything wrong.
Finally, Suman stated that she thought it was best that Rashmika and Rakshit’s relationship terminated.
Rashmika Mandanna Addresses the Audio Leak Scandal
After a purported old audio clip against her family began making the rounds on social media, Rashmika Mandanna responded angrily. The actress claimed in a statement that for the previous eight years, she has been the target of incorrect information, internet harassment, and misleading stories.
Many of her statements, according to Rashmika, were taken out of context and occasionally even turned into tales she never spoke. She decided to keep quiet and concentrate on her career and personal development despite the hurt caused by the criticism and vitriol.
The actress claimed that the recent encounter went too far, too. She clarified that the audio tape being disseminated online seems to be a private discussion that took place almost eight years ago and was captured and published without the participants’ knowledge or consent.
Rashmika claims that only a small portion of the discussion has been misrepresented and disseminated online to spark controversy, particularly in light of recent events in her personal life.
She also voiced worry that, despite having nothing to do with it, the problem has drawn her family and other individuals she respects into it. This is a major invasion of privacy and the dissemination of false information, according to Rashmika.
The actress claimed that while the criticism was only aimed at her, she had remained mute for years. However, she has made the decision to speak up and establish boundaries now that others are participating.
Rashmika Mandanna Issues a Legal Warning
Rashmika Mandanna has threatened to file a lawsuit against anyone who keeps sharing the widely shared audio tape. The actress requested in her statement that social media users, influencers, and media outlets take down the relevant postings and content right away.
According to Rashmika, they have a day from the moment she made her statement to remove the video. She will take legal action if the content is still being shared after that.
Legal letters could be delivered to people, influencers, digital platforms, and media companies who disseminate content that infringes privacy or harms people’s reputations, she continued.
