“Actress Rashmika Mandanna Faces Backlash for Political Comments, Receives Recognition from PM Modi”
Actress Rashmika Mandanna recently drew criticism after expressing admiration for India’s infrastructure projects, including the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link and Atal Setu, in a video. Some viewers interpreted her remarks as implicit support for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) ahead of elections in northern states.
Following her appeal for voting on the basis of development in the video, Prime Minister Narendra Modi responded positively, stating, “Absolutely! Nothing more satisfying than connecting people and improving lives.” This exchange reinforced perceptions that the actress aligns with the BJP, leading some fans to label her as a nationalist.
In India, actresses endorsing political parties is not uncommon, with figures like Jayalalitha, Kangana Ranaut, Hema Malini, and Jaya Bachchan transitioning from endorsements to active political roles. Whether Rashmika Mandanna will follow a similar path remains a topic of speculation.
