Rashmika Mandanna believes she is being unfairly targeted by competitors, particularly actresses who, she feels, are envious of her Bollywood success and growing Instagram popularity.
In a recent interview, Rashmika said she has been subjected to trolling even over trivial remarks or actions.
She suspects that certain lobbies are investing money to fuel these attacks and run a sustained negative campaign against her.
While she did not provide concrete evidence, she pointed to the constant stream of negative coverage and online trolling as indicators of a deliberate effort to tarnish her image.
On the work front, Rashmika will next be seen in the Telugu film The Girlfriend, directed by Rahul Ravindran, and in the Bollywood film Tama alongside Ayushmann Khurrana.
