Earlier Life

Later, she completed her Bachelor of Mass Media (BMM) degree from New Viva College of Arts, Commerce and Science. She was a national athlete during her school days and pursued higher education mainly for her mother’s happiness.
During her 11th standard, she worked at a call center where she earned Rs 18,000-19,000 per month. She was selected for the job based on her confidence, despite not knowing Kannada at that time.
She learned Kannada by watching vlogs and handling customer interactions. Rakshita learned Tulu from her parents and enjoys speaking it with people from Udupi.
Social Media
Rakshita started her vlogging journey in 2020 during the COVID-19 lockdown period. Her first vlog was created spontaneously when she felt bored and missed her hometown.
She became famous through her Instagram handle @rakshita_tulu_talks, which has over 124,000 followers. Her content is 80% authentic and unedited, featuring lifestyle vlogs, cooking videos, festival rituals, and Mangalorean recipes.
Her signature catchphrase “Bale Bale Guys Bale Bale” became her trademark. She is recognized as one of the most famous Tulu YouTubers. She faced some controversy after attending a Muslim wedding wearing a burqa, which led to trolling.
However, she views trolling as part of the content creation business and believes it helps gain recognition. She plans to open a restaurant called “Foodie Spot” in Mumbai, showcasing Mangalorean cuisine.
Bigg Boss Kannada
Rakshita Shetty participated as a contestant in Bigg Boss Kannada 12. Her entry into the show created controversy when she was eliminated on the first day itself.
This short-lived eviction led to massive social media protests from her fans, resulting in her re-entry into the house. She faced online trolling during her Bigg Boss journey for her language accent and social media background.
Despite the criticism, she maintained her authentic personality on the show. Her participation in Bigg Boss significantly increased her popularity and brought her Tulu content to a wider Kannada-speaking audience across Karnataka.
