Rashmika Mandanna was at the receiving end of trolling after she said she hasn't watched Kantara. She was further criticized when she did not mention Rishab Shetty and his production studio while remembering her initial days in Kannada cinema. Now, Kichcha Sudeep shared his two cents about the controversy.
In an interview with Indiaglitz Telugu, Sudeep said, "It is what it is. How can you change the world? If you go 15-20 years back, there were news channels interviewing us, and all that was pretty new at the time. But if you go to Dr. Rajkumar sir’s time, nothing was there except Doordarshan and papers. So, how can you say they were better because now suddenly media is there? It’s wrong (to say that) because of media news everything is going wrong. We should learn to handle it. We should always move on. And once you’re a public figure, there will always be garlands; there will always be eggs, tomatoes, and stones also coming at you.”
He further added, "I think we should learn to face it and get stronger. When we know that this is going to happen, I think we will all be more polished in what we talk, how we speak, or what we are supposed to say. You want to have an account on Facebook and Twitter and a following of 2 or 10 million but you don’t want this negative thing? Really?.”
