There’s a famous dialogue by Shah Rukh Khan in Zoya Akhtar’s Luck By Chance that goes, “Stardom is a dangerous cocktail of fame, money, and power. So never forget those, who knew you when you were nothing … because only these people, will tell you the truth always… only these people will keep you connected to your roots.” But it seems Rashmika Mandanna doesn’t believe in this idealogy.
In a recent interview, she was recalling how she got her first chance as the leading heroine in the Kannada film Kirik Party. She said that she did some modeling while doing college and one of her pictures got published on the front page of the Times of India. She went back to her college after that but then she got a call from a production house that offered her Kirik Party which she accepted.
Rashmika didn’t even mention the name of that banner that gave her the first chance. The film was produced by her ex-boyfriend Rakshit Shetty with who she broke off her engagement. The film was directed by Kantara fame Rishab Shetty.
People on social media are trolling Rashmika for being thankless. Many are saying that whatever she might have gone through in her personal life, she shouldn’t have forgotten her roots. Some are saying that the success of Kantara has pissed her off and such statements only show her jealousy.
Just the other day, Rashmika posted a long emotional post on Instagram where she was saying, “I have been on the receiving end of a lot of hate ever since I started my career. Quite literally a punching bag for a lot of trolls and negativity out there.”
But Rashmika should realize that if she keeps ignoring people intentionally who helped her to be where she is today, because of whatever reason, people will react negatively and troll her.
