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 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 audiences excited, she surprised everyone 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?
The sudden deletion has now left Rashmika fans especially upset with Maddock Films, with many online wondering why Team Tujhko keeps getting teased only to disappear. While “Mashooqa” continues dominating conversations, a section of fans feel the softer romantic track and Rashmika’s pairing are deliberately being kept under wraps, making the rivalry between the two songs feel even more intense off-screen too.
Whatever may be happening behind the scenes, while “Mashooqa” may have officially won round one, Rashmika’s playful rebellion, the sudden deletion, and the growing frustration among her fans has now turned the Cocktail 2 soundtrack into a full-fledged battle of vibes — party anthem versus eternal romance.
