Awkward Encounter? Rashmika’s Ex Rakshit Shetty, Rumored Boyfriend Vijay Deverakonda Cross Paths At SIIMA

Did Rashmika Mandanna's former fiancé Rakshit Shetty run into her rumored beau Vijay Deverakonda? A viral video from the SIIMA Awards in Dubai seems to suggest so.

The video shows Vijay Deverakonda presenting the Best Actor Award to Rakshit Shetty for his performance in Kannada film 'Sapta Sagaradaache Ello'. The encounter caught the attention of fans, as both actors share a history with Rashmika Mandanna.

For those unfamiliar, Rashmika and Rakshit Shetty got engaged after falling in love during the making of 'Kirik Party'. However, the two broke off their engagement before getting married. Rumours had claimed that Rashmika's bold scenes with Vijay Deverakonda in 'Geetha Govindam' led to the breakup, and soon after, speculations arose that Rashmika and Deverakonda were seeing each other.

In recent years, rumours about Rashmika's relationships with both Rakshit and Vijay have continued to circulate. Just months ago, the actress celebrated her birthday in the UAE, and according to eagle-eyed fans, she wasn't alone. Based on their Instagram stories, Rashmika and Vijay appeared to be vacationing together, much like their rumoured secret getaway to the Maldives.

Fans spotted matching details in their posts from the UAE, including a peacock in Rashmika's Instagram post that matched one in Vijay's video discussing his film The Family Star.

Responding to the viral video, one user said, "5 years later Rakshit is still hitting it out of park . Introducing New talents making incredible Movies

Another netizen commented, "After all they shared the same Stage."
