Rakshita Shetty, widely known as 'Rakshita Tulu Talks', is an Indian social media influencer and content creator born on 20 March 2000 in Padubidri, Udupi, Karnataka. She was raised in Mumbai, where she attended St. Aloysius High School in Nallasopara and went on to complete a B.Com and a Bachelor's in Multimedia and Mass Communication (BMM). She began her vlogging journey in 2020 during the COVID-19 lockdown, creating her first video out of homesickness. Her content — featuring Tulu language vlogs, coastal Karnataka recipes, and Mangalorean traditions — resonated deeply with audiences from the region. Her YouTube channel grew to over 400,000 subscribers, and her Instagram amassed a loyal following of over 124,000 followers. In 2025, Rakshita entered Bigg Boss Kannada Season 12 as a contestant. She was dramatically eliminated on Day 1 by fellow housemates, but a massive public uproar led to her re-entry into the house. Despite criticism for her imperfect Kannada, her honesty, innocence, and emotional maturity helped her win widespread fan support. She finished the season as the first runner-up, taking home a prize of ₹25 lakh.
