Actor Rashmika Mandanna recently attended the pre-release event of Anand Deverakonda’s upcoming film, 'Gam Gam Ganesha.' While her fans enjoyed her presence, some who didn’t understand Telugu wished she had spoken in English. Responding to this request, Rashmika explained her reasoning.

A fan took to X (formerly Twitter) to express their desire for Rashmika to speak in a language more universally understood. The fan wrote, “You continued speaking in Telugu, which we couldn't understand. Don't you think that if you have fans in the North, they would also like to hear you speak? If you speak in English, more people will be able to understand you, not only in the North but also those who speak Kannada, Tamil, or Malayalam.”

Rashmika responded thoughtfully, explaining why she refrains from speaking English at such events. She said, “I try my best to talk in English so that everyone of you understand me no matter where you are from… but I am just uncomfortable with the fact that many people who want me to speak in their language will think that I am disrespectful of the language or that I don’t know the language, but- I’ll try my best.”

Rashmika has a busy schedule ahead with numerous films in both Hindi and Telugu. In Hindi, she will be seen in 'Sikandar' alongside Salman Khan and 'Chhava' with Vicky Kaushal. In Telugu, her upcoming projects include 'Pushpa: The Rule' with Allu Arjun, 'Kubera' with Dhanush, and other films like 'The Girlfriend' and 'Rainbow.'
