After years of persistent rumours and social media speculation, rashmika mandanna, one of indian cinema’s top actresses, has finally addressed the whispers about being banned from the kannada film industry. In an exclusive interview during the promotions of her upcoming film Thamma, she clarified that no such ban exists, adding that the truth of personal life is often far removed from what the public perceives.
1. No Ban, Just Rumours
rashmika made it clear: “So far, I have not been banned… So, yeah.” The rumours linking her to a supposed ban after her breakup with actor rakshit shetty were completely unfounded.
2. Personal Life ≠ Public Narrative
Addressing assumptions, she emphasized, “One cannot live as per people’s assumptions.” Celebrities, she added, often face misinterpretations of their personal life, which the media amplifies for attention.
3. The Breakup That Sparked Speculation
Rashmika’s relationship with rakshit shetty, her Kirrik party co-star and fiancé from 2017 to 2018, became the fodder for false rumours of a professional ban, despite no official statements from the industry.
4. From Pogaru to Thamma: kannada Career Continues
Her last kannada release was Pogaru in 2021, and fans wrongly assumed her absence meant she was blacklisted. Rashmika’s upcoming film Thamma (October 21) proves she remains an active and celebrated part of kannada cinema.
5. Rashmika’s Philosophy: Truth Over Perception
She reminds fans that the world doesn’t see everything: “The world doesn’t know what is happening inside, only god knows the truth.” It’s a lesson in ignoring assumptions and staying focused on work.
6. Love Life Speculation Continues
Adding fuel to gossip columns, rumours of her engagement to Vijay Deverakonda surfaced, though nothing is officially confirmed, showcasing how quickly public perception can spiral out of control.
7. Career Focus Remains Sharp
Despite media chatter and baseless speculation, Rashmika’s focus remains on her craft, and Thamma is set to remind everyone why she’s one of the most talented and bankable stars in South cinema today.
🚨 Closing Punch:
rashmika Mandanna’s statement is a brutal reminder of how public perception and rumours can distort reality. No ban, no blacklist—just a talented actress continuing her journey on her terms, undeterred by baseless speculation. In a world quick to assume, Rashmika’s clarity and focus on work stand out as the ultimate statement of strength and professionalism.
