Rashmika Mandanna, the acclaimed actress, gave a befitting reply to a troll on social media on Tuesday, firmly defending her professional choices. The actress took to her X platform (formerly known as Twitter) and responded to a user who questioned her motive behind signing the 2022 movie, Aadavallu Meeku Johaarlu. The user suggested that her decision was influenced solely by the presence of co-star Sharwanand and director Kishore Tirumala, rather than the script's merit.
Rashmika, unyielding in her stance, rebuked the individual for propagating "baseless" rumours and emphasised her unwavering commitment to selecting projects based on script quality. “Said who re? I only do films because I believe in the script. And being able to work with the cast and crew has been an honor. I wonder where all of this baseless news starts from,” the actress wrote.
This incident follows closely on the heels of another social media exchange where Rashmika addressed claims that she hiked her fee after the success of Animal. Dismissing the assertion, she humorously pondered the source of such rumours and hinted at the possibility of considering the raise, citing media speculation as a catalyst for the decision-making process.
Rashmika wrote, “Says who I wonder.. after seeing all of this I think I should actually consider it.. and if my producers ask why...then I’ll just say ‘media out there is saying this sir.. and I think I should live up to their words.. what do I do?'.”
