Manchu Lakshmi, Rakul, Pragya Take Maldives Break Finally

Lakshmi Manchu had joked in a recent chat that her best friend Rakul Preet vanished into “married life mode” after tying the knot with producer Jackky Bhagnani, always checking with him before saying yes to any plan. And honestly, it sounded like the kind of friendly complaint you throw at someone you miss. Now, it looks like Rakul took that hint and finally made space for a proper friends’ trip.

The new Maldives pictures tell the whole story. In one of them, a big group is standing together at the seaplane terminal, all dressed in comfy holiday clothes. You can see a mix of relaxed smiles, peace signs, sunglasses, travel bags, that typical “we finally escaped” vibe. Manchu Lakshmi's daughter Vidya Nirvana Manchu Anand is in the front looking extra cheerful, and the adults behind her seem just as excited, like they’ve already switched into island mode even before hitting the resort.

Rakul shared these photos while celebrating De De Pyaar De 2 with Jackky, Lakshmi, Lakshmi’s daughter, Pragya Jaiswal, and a circle of close friends. No fancy poses, no overdone styling, just a bunch of people who clearly needed this break. And going by the laughs in the picture, they’re making the most of it.
