Rashmika
Mandanna
does
it
again.
The
south-Indian
starlet,
who
rose
to
fame
through
Kannada
and
Telugu
movies,
is
now
testing
the
waters
of
Bollywood.
While
doing
so,
the
actress
is
repeatedly
making
remarks
on
the
south-Indian
films,
filmmakers,
and
songs,
much
to
the
chagrin
of
the
respective
people.
Taking
part
in
a
promotional
event
for
her
upcoming
Bollywood
film
'Mission
Majnu',
the
chirpy
actress
made
rather
harsh
and
stereotyping
remarks
on
the
south-Indian
romantic
songs.
"Bollywood
romantic
songs
were
a
thing.
For
me
while
growing
up,
romantic
songs
matlab
is
Bollywood.
In
south,
the
songs
are
mass
masala,
item
numbers,
and
all
dance
songs," Rashmika
said.
Interrupting
Rashmika,
Siddharth
Malhotra
said,
"Humne
bhi
dekhi
hi.
we
know,
we
know"
and
the
both
burst
into
laughter.
Immediately
came
a
reply
from
someone
behind
the
camera,
"Humne
bhi
south
mein
dekhiye,
har
aisa
nahi
hai."
She
then
continued,
"This
is
my
first
Bollywood
romantic
song
and
I
am
so
excited
and
it
is
so
good.
I'm
waiting
for
you
all
to
listen
to
it."
Netizens
have
taken
to
social
media
sites
and
started
to
troll
her
heavily
and
unleashed
their
wrath.
They
made
comments
like,
"This
is
why
Kannadigas
hate
her",
"She
has
no
respect
for
people,
land,
and
her
roots," and
"Now
Tamil
and
Telugu
people
will
understand
why
Kannadigas
boycotted
her,"
"She
got
popular
through
'Belageddu'
romantic
song
and
she
lacks
gratitude,"
etc.
Check
out
a
few
tweets
here:
Rashmika
hit
the
headlines
for
choosing
to
ignore
Kantara
maker
Rishab
Shetty,
during
one
of
her
interviews,
as
the
one
who
launched
her
career
in
Kannada
Film
Industry
as
the
heroine.
Forget
acknowledging
the
filmmaker
for
introducing
her
to
the
Kannada
Industry,
she
didn't
even
take
his
name
and
quoted
a
'random
production
company,'
talking
about
her
earlier
days.
This
didn't
go
down
well
with
the
Kannadigas
who
have
taken
to
social
media
and
trolled
her
for
purposefully
ignoring
her
roots.
Ironically,
Rashmika
hails
from
Coorg,
one
of
the
most
beautiful
places
in
Karnataka,
which
also
makes
her
a
Kannadiga.
People
started
to
boycott
Rashmika
post
this
incident.
On
the
professional
front,
Rashmika
Mandanna's
Mission
Majnu
will
be
released
on
OTT
giant
Netflix
on
January
19.
In
addition,
the
actress
is
part
of
Allu
Arjun-Sukumar's
Pushpa
2.
She
is
also
awaiting
the
grand
release
of
her
upcoming
film
with
Thalapathy
Vijay,
titled
Varisu/Vaarasudu
on
January
12
for
Sankranthi.
