Actress Rashmika Mandanna, one of the most celebrated stars in South Indian cinema and Bollywood, has finally spoken out about the long-circulating rumours that she was “banned” from the Kannada film industry following her breakup with actor Rakshit Shetty.
In a candid interview with Good News Kannada, Rashmika firmly denied the claims, clarifying that she was never banned and continues to maintain cordial ties with the Kannada film fraternity.
“I wasn’t banned at all,” she stated, adding that she recently watched Rishab Shetty’s ‘Kantara: Chapter 1’ and personally congratulated the team. “I didn’t watch it during the first few days after release, but I saw it recently and messaged the team. They replied with a simple ‘thank you’,” she said with a smile.
Addressing the constant speculation around her personal life, Rashmika remarked, “The world doesn’t know what happens behind closed doors. We can’t keep cameras on our private lives. We don’t share personal messages online — people can say what they want, but what matters is feedback about our professional work.”
When asked directly whether Kannada producers had blacklisted her, Rashmika responded light-heartedly, “So far, I have not been banned. So, yeah…”
Emphasising the importance of individuality, she added, “One cannot live based on others’ opinions. As artists, we should focus on our craft, not on public perception.”
Currently, Rashmika is at the peak of her career, with several major projects lined up. She will next be seen in Aditya Sarpotdar’s ‘Thamma’, releasing this Diwali, alongside Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Paresh Rawal, Sathyaraj, and Faisal Malik.
On the personal front, Rashmika is engaged to Vijay Deverakonda after a private ceremony. Reports suggest that the couple may tie the knot in February 2026, though the stars have not yet confirmed the date officially.
