After

‘Toxic’
actress
Rukmini
Vasanth,
one
of
the
most
sought
after
actresses
in
the
Indian
film
industry
right
now,
and
often
referred

as
the

Arjun
Radhakrishnan,
known
for
his
work
in
Kerala
Crime

have
been

on

The
renewed

comes
from
a
comment

left
on
some
old
Instagram

Arjun
had
posted
in
2015,
which
fans
recently
rediscovered
and

Toxic
Actress
Rukmini
Vasanth,
popular
after
Kantara,
and
actor
Arjun
Radhakrishnan
are
trending
on
social
media
due
to
Rukmini’s
comment
on
Arjun’s
2015
Instagram
photos,
which
fans
recently
rediscovered.
Arjun,
known
for
roles
in
Malayalam
films
and
the
Rocket
Boys
series,
was
born
in
Tamil
Nadu
and
holds
a
degree
in
Statistics.
The
comment,
which
still
exists
on
Arjun’s
Instagram,
was
made
nearly
eight
years
ago
on
his
shirtless
photos
from
2015.
On
one
of
the
photos,
Rukmini
wrote
in
English,”Somebody’s
trying
too
hard,” while
another
photo
features
a
red
lipstick
emoji.
Screenshots
of
the
comment
have
gone
viral
across
social
media,
attracting
attention
from
fans
in
Malayalam,
Tamil,
and
Kannada-speaking
communities,
many
of
whom
visited
Arjun’s
Instagram
to
verify
its
authenticity.
At
the
time,
Rukmini
was
in
her
early
twenties,
and
Arjun
was
just
beginning
to
actively
pursue
a
career
in
films.
The
resurfacing
of
this
comment
quickly
sparked
discussions
online.
According
to
social
media
chatter,
fans
were
curious
about
the
past
interaction
between
the
two
actors,
and
reactions
ranged
from
lighthearted
amusement
to
playful
teasing
about
the
lengths
some
users
go
to
dig
through
old
posts.
Many
shared
screenshots
and
expressed
surprise,
with
comments
like,
“This
reel
just
broke
my
heart” and
“Still
he’s
average
in
terms
of
looks.
Talent
though
❤️❤️”.
Others
joked
about
fans
obsessively
tracing
old
content,
calling
it
“unemployment
at
its
peak.”
Arjun
Radhakrishnan
gained
wider
recognition
through
his
portrayal
of
Abdul
Kalam
in
the
Rocket
Boys
series.
His
first
notable
role
in
Malayalam
cinema
was
in
a
film
directed
by
Kamal,
followed
by
leading
roles
in
movies
including
Dear
Friend,
Ullozhukk,
Kannur
Squad,
and
Identity.
Born
in
Nagarkovil,
Tamil
Nadu,
to
a
Malayali
father
and
Tamil
mother,
Arjun
was
raised
in
Pune
and
holds
a
BSc
in
Statistics
from
Savitribai
Phule
Pune
University.
Rukmini
Vasanth,
who
has
amassed
a
large
fan
following
after
Kantara,
is
currently
awaiting
the
release
of
her
upcoming
film
Toxic,
starring
Yash.
She
began
her
acting
career
in
2019
with
the
Kannada
film
Birbal.
She
gained
wider
recognition
with
Sapta
Saagaradaache
Ello,
but
it
was
her
stellar
performance
in
the
blockbuster
Kantara:
Chapter
1
that
turned
her
into
an
overnight
sensation.
She
is
next
set
to
appear
in
Yash’s
highly
anticipated
film
Toxic:
A
Fairytale
for
Grown-Ups.
At
present,
Rukmini
is
also
making
headlines
for
her
personal
life,
keeping
fans
and
media
alike
intrigued.
This
comes
at
a
time
when
an
old
snap
of
Rukmini
with
photographer
Siddhant
Nag
went
viral
recently.
The
photo,
originally
shared
by
Siddhant
on
Instagram
on
June
12,
2023,
shows
the
duo
enjoying
time
at
a
restaurant
in
Bengaluru,
with
Rukmini
resting
her
head
on
Siddhant’s
shoulder.
For
the
unversed,
Siddhant,
a
professional
photographer
based
in
Bengaluru,
has
reportedly
been
in
a
relationship
with
Rukmini
for
several
years,
according
to
media
reports.
While
the
Rukmini
Vasanth’s
comment
from
2015
has
resurfaced
and
sparked
discussions
online,
neither
Rukmini
nor
Arjun
has
publicly
addressed
it.
However,
it’s
important
to
remember
that
personal
relationships
and
interactions
are
private,
and
fans
should
not
over-analyse
or
judge
the
actors
based
on
old
posts
or
photos.
Everyone
has
the
right
to
their
personal
choices,
and
speculation
can
quickly
turn
invasive.
