Rashmika Mandanna is presently the most in-demand female celebrity in India. But she has landed in trouble in her home state.
According to a Karnataka Congress MLA, Rashmika has consistently declined invitations from their government to participate in public events. Congress MLA Ravikumar Gowda Ganiga condemned Mandanna for purportedly showing disrespect for Kannada culture and language.
Gowda accused Rashmika Mandanna of renouncing her connections to Karnataka. The congress politician contends that, although she was born and raised in Karnataka and commenced her acting career in the Kannada cinema industry, she has exhibited less enthusiasm for engaging in activities that honor her home state’s culture and traditions.
He additionally asserted that a politician visited her residence 10 to 12 times to extend an invitation, which she declined, leading him to inquire, “Should we not teach her a lesson?”
The matter has evolved into a contentious debate, with numerous people scrutinizing the actress’s position on her home state’s cultural identity.
The MLA’s remarks elicited severe condemnation from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
This is not the first instance of Rashmika Mandanna encountering criticism from Karnataka people. Rashmika Mandanna’s break-up with Kannada actor Rakshit Shetty, her hesitance to recognize specific facets of her Kannada film origins, and previous remarks viewed as her indifference.
