In the Sandeep Reddy Vanga directorial Animal, Rashmika Mandanna essays the role of Geetanjali, the wife of protagonist Ranvijay (essayed by Ranbir Kapoor). Despite being a doting wife, Geetanjali is heartbroken when he gets to know that Ranvijay is having an extra-marital affair with Zoya (essayed by Triptii Dimri). Rashmika’s heartbroken reaction to the scene in the movie was shared by a fan on social media. 

Taking to the X (formerly Twitter) account the fan wrote, “Remember nothing is scarier than trusting a man..” The video did not miss the attention of Rashmika and she wrote, “Correction : trusting a stupid man = scary.. there are a lot of good men also out there.. trusting those men = special. (heart reaction emoticon).” 

Rashmika Mandanna reflects on being trolled for Animal

For the unversed, Rashmika's Geetanjali in Animal, had a crucial monologue to deliver, where she confronts her husband (played by Ranbir Kapoor) about infidelity. Rashmika's accent in the scene has been the subject of massive internet conjecture and ensuing memes. The actress has finally addressed the same.

She said, "In my head, I went into the space when I did the 9-min scene everyone on the set liked it, but people are now trolling me, am I living in a bubble? Are people now gonna like the scene because you know what you’ve shot, but people don’t? People just know that 10-second scene. So, I don’t ever in l life want to be in a bubble, I need to be on the ground. I need to talk to people. I need to know what really is going on. I don’t want to be like I am an actor, everything I do is cool. That’s not me". Rashmika is currently filming for her upcoming projects Pushpa 2: The Rule, Rainbow, The Girlfriend and Chaava. Her last release, Animal on the other hand, can be streamed on Netflix.
