In Tamil she acted alongside Silambarasan also known as "Simbu". Her Kannada film career as heroine got a twist when her movie Kalasipalya became a hit. Within a short period of time, Rakshita acted with major Telugu heroes such as Chiranjeevi, Nagarjuna, Mahesh Babu, Jr NTR, Jagapathi Babu and Ravi Teja.

In the same month, she joined the Janata Dal (Secular).[2] She again had differences with the party over its ignoring of her plea for a ticket to contest fromMandya at the 2014 general election, and quit in March 2014, joining the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).[3] Following this, she became subject to media and public ridicule, and was called a "party-hopper", having changed 3 political parties in two years.[4]
