The Cocktail 2 song launch may have officially crowned “Mashooqa” as the audience favourite, but the fun clearly didn’t end when the voting stopped. After the high-energy track featuring Shahid Kapoor and Kriti Sanon won the live audience vote by a narrow margin, Rashmika Mandanna took to social media claiming the event was “rigged”.
While celebrating the success of “Mashooqa,” Rashmika hinted that lovers of soft romance may not have stood a fair chance against a full-blown party anthem, instantly setting off a playful rivalry online. Kriti Sanon quickly joined in with a cryptic post about “crying sour grapes” followed by an “IYKYK,” adding even more fuel to the banter and leaving fans thoroughly entertained by the duo’s off-screen chemistry.
And just when the fans started discussing what was brewing between the two girls and it looked like Team Mashooqa had officially taken the lead, Rashmika decided she wasn’t done fighting for Team Tujhko. In a move that instantly got fans excited, she surprised audiences by leaking “Tujhko” on her social media, giving fans a sneak peek into the softer, more emotional side of Cocktail 2. Sharing glimpses of Kunal and Dia’s warm chemistry, Rashmika described the song as “the sound of forever kind of love,” offering audiences a taste of the dreamy romance that had viewers equally torn during the live vote.
And then she deleted it. So what exactly is brewing in the Cocktail 2 universe?
Whatever may it be, while “Mashooqa” may have won round one officially, Rashmika’s playful rebellion and surprise “Tujhko” tease has now turned the Cocktail 2 soundtrack into a full-fledged battle of vibes — party anthem versus eternal romance.
So will Summer 2026 heat up with rivalry or love? Catch Cocktail 2 in cinemas on June 19 to find out.
