Last
year,
actress
Rashmika
Mandanna
became
the
talk
of
the
town
when
Geetha
Govindam
opened
to
a
thunderous
response
at
the
box
office
and
received
rave
reviews
from
all
corners.
In
fact,
it
emerged
as
one
of
the
most
successful
small
films
of
the
year.
The
movie,
touted
to
be
a
romantic-comedy,
saw
the
Kannada
beauty
act
opposite
Vijay
Deverakonda
and
become
the
new
sweetheart
of
Tollywood.
Now,
she
is
back
in
the
limelight,
courtesy
her
latest
film
Dear
Comrade
which
has
her
paired
opposite
Vijay
Deverakonda
again.
The
film's
teaser
was
released
yesterday
(March
17,
2019)
and
landed
in
controversy
as
it
featured
a
lip-lock
between
Rashmika
and
Vijay
Deverakonda.
Several
fans
trolled
and
slut-shamed
the
beauty
in
the
most
heartless
way
possible.

I
don't
know
why
makers
add
kissing
scenes
in
movies?
It
is
not
imp
if
movie
is
good
and
it's
not
work
if
movie
is
bad.

Kannada
fans
once
again
hate

Interestingly,
Rashmika
was
slut-shamed
during
the
promotions
of
Geetha
Govindam
as
well.
In
fact,
back
then,
her
detractors
had
even
gone
to
the
extent
of
saying
that
her
bold
scenes
with
Vijay
Deverakonda
were
responsible
for
her
breakup
with
Kannada
star
Rakshit
Shetty.
Trolling,
the
ugliest
side
of
social
media,
is
completely
unacceptable
and
needs
to
stop
ASAP.
On
a
related
note,
we
hope
that
Rashmika
stays
strong
and
lets
her
work
do
the
talking.
