Rashmika Mandanna has once again landed in controversy following a recent social media post. As part of the promotions for her upcoming film Kuberaa, Rashmika attended a grand event in Chennai.
Dressed in a pastel outfit, she charmed the audience with her energy and presence. After the event, she took to social media to share her experience and wrote an emotional note expressing her connection with the city.
In the post, Rashmika mentioned that Chennai holds a special place in her heart because she spent her childhood there. She also said she was happy to begin the Kuberaa promotions in a city that feels personally close to her.
However, the post didn’t sit well with some Kannada fans. The backlash centers on her claim of having “spent her childhood in Chennai.”
Many netizens from Karnataka pointed out that Rashmika was born and raised in Karnataka, where she also completed her education. They felt her statement downplayed her roots.
This isn’t the first time Rashmika has faced criticism for similar reasons. In the past, she referred to Hyderabad as feeling like home and admitted she hadn’t watched the Kannada blockbuster Kantara.
These instances have led to accusations that she’s distancing herself from her native culture to appeal more broadly to non-Kannada audiences.
While Rashmika likely intended her post as a heartfelt gesture, it has sparked renewed debate online. Whether she chooses to respond or clarify her comments remains to be seen.
