Rashmika Mandanna addresses trolls and negativity in a long note, says ‘I understand that I’m not everyone’s cup of tea’

Pushpa fame Rashmika Mandanna on Tuesday night took to Instagram and penned a long note expressing how troubled she has been for years now. Addressing hate surrounding her, she said ever since she started her career, she has been a punching bag for a lot of trolls and negativity out there. While she understands that she won’t be loved by every single person out there, she cannot tolerate negativity spewed at her either.

On a long note, Rashmika added, “ I know that the life I’ve chosen comes with a price– I understand that I’m not everyone’s cup of tea and certainly don’t expect to be loved by every single person out there. That doesn’t mean because you don’t approve of me you can spew negativity instead. Only I know the kind of work I put in, day in and day out to make you all happy. The happiness you feel from the work I put out is what I care about most. I really am trying the best I can to put out things that both you and I are proud of.”

She further mentioned that it feels demoralizing when she is being ridiculed and mocked by the internet for things she has not said. She believes that false narratives are being spread which can harm her relationship in and outside the industry. “I welcome constructive criticism because that’s only going to push me to improve and do better. But what’s with the vile negativity and hate? For the longest time I’ve been told to ignore it. But it has only gotten worse. By addressing it, I’m not trying to win anyone over. I don’t want to feel closeted and forced to change as a human being because of this hate I keep receiving, “ she said.

She concluded by thanking her fans for their constant love and support. She said their love has kept her going and given her the courage to address the negativity around her. “I only have love for everyone around me, the people I’ve worked with so far, all of whom I’ve always admired. I will continue to work hard and do better for you. Because like I said, making you happy -makes me happy. Be kind everyone. We’re all trying to do our best. Thank you, ”she signed off.
