Mumbai: Amid dating rumours with Vijay Deverakonda, versatile actress Rashmika Mandanna shared that she would like to date a man like Ranbir Kapoor from ‘Animal’.
On Barkha Dutt’s show, a fan asked Rashmika if she would date a man like Ranvijay (played by Ranbir Kapoor) from ‘Animal’.
“I truly believe that if you love someone and someone loves you, the changes will happen,” replied Rashmika, who has worked both in South and Bollywood films.
“Do you actually think that you can change people? You know that’s a young and romantic idea?” Barkha asked.
Rashmika explained, “I said that because, for example, when you grow up with a partner or someone from a younger age, you are still forming a personality. You are still figuring out what you like and what you do not like. And when you grow up together…”
“When you remember your best friend or your partner being a certain way maybe a decade earlier, suddenly to the person who they are today—you’re just like, ‘Do you remember how it was? And do you realise how much we have changed together?’ Maybe I am just talking about those miracle partners or situations,” Rashmika added.
As Rashmika’s response went viral, Reddit users started trolling her.
One person wrote, “It’s sad that a lot of girls are actually told this and moulded in a way to change themselves for the guy. She’s a reflection of the society and how India thinks, actually.”
Another user said, “Jo reel life me fix nahi kar paayi wo real life me kya fix karegi😭.”
“What world is she living in? Only to defend her mere character, you can’t sit there and make such statements. Women are not RESPONSIBLE for fixing anyone,” remarked one person.
One comment read, “She is a major pick me.”
Another went as, “The crowd deserves applause!!”
“I really don’t need to hear any more from Rashmika Mandanna,” expressed one view.
Another comment read, “It’s embarrassing to see a grown woman say this.🙈🙈”
One person wrote, “She messed up here!! The correct answer is – No, I won’t date Ranbir’s character in Animal in real life.”
Yes, I would date a guy like Ranbir’s character in Animal in real life — and I believe my love would change him :- Rashmika mandhana
