Rashmika Mandanna reacts to claims of ban in Kannada cinema
Rashmika Mandanna was seen interacting with the media personnel. Speaking with Good News Kannada, the actress was asked if she had watched Rishab Shetty’s Kantara: Chapter 1 and if she shared any feedback with the team.
In response, Rashmika said, “See, the thing is… I didn’t see the film in the first 2-3 days since its release. I didn’t see it then, but I recently watched it and even texted the team. They even responded with a ‘thanks too’ response.”
“See, the world doesn’t know what’s going on inside. Inside, God knows we can’t always put a camera on our personal life. Also, we are not those people who share our posts online. So, what people say about a person’s life doesn’t matter. Now, what they say about our professional life, we will think about it and work on it,” the newly engaged actress added.
Rashmika emphasized that one cannot live by other people’s opinions, especially when it comes to personal matters. When asked directly if she was banned by Kannada producers, as some rumors suggest, she responded with a smirk. “So far I haven’t been banned. So, yeah…” said Rashmika.
