Rakshitha Rai is an Indian cricketer and sportswoman from Mangaluru, Karnataka. She built her career in women's competitive cricket, representing Karnataka in inter-state cricket tournaments. She had reportedly been out of contact with her parents for nearly nine years before entering Bigg Boss - a personal backstory that the show highlighted as one of the season's compelling human interest angles. In October 2018, she entered Bigg Boss Kannada Season 6 as a commoner contestant - one of nine selected through online Voot auditions - and the season's only sports representative. She was the first contestant to be eliminated from the season, evicted in Week 1 (Day 6), finishing twentieth and last.
