Actress Kriti Sanon in Special Chit Chat – Taara

Lakshmi Manchu recently joked that her best friend Rakul Preet Singh had slipped into “married life mode” after tying the knot with producer Jackky Bhagnani—checking with him before saying yes to any outing. It was the kind of affectionate complaint only a close friend can make. And it seems Rakul took it sportingly, because the actress has finally carved out time for a much-needed friends’ getaway.

The latest photos from the Maldives say it all. One group picture, taken at the seaplane terminal, captures the perfect pre-vacation buzz. Dressed in relaxed travel wear, everyone appears refreshed and excited, flashing peace signs and warm smiles. Manchu Lakshmi’s daughter, Vidya Nirvana Manchu Anand, stands at the front with a cheerful grin, while the adults behind her look equally thrilled—already in island mode even before reaching their resort.

Rakul shared these moments while celebrating De De Pyaar De 2 alongside Jackky Bhagnani, Lakshmi Manchu, Vidya Nirvana, Pragya Jaiswal, and a close circle of friends. The charm lies in the simplicity: no curated poses or designer-heavy styling—just a group of people genuinely enjoying a well-deserved break. And judging by the energy in the photos, this tropical reunion is exactly what they all needed.
