Rashmika Mandanna faced backlash for her recent advertisement for a popular burger brand in India.
The ad featured the actress enjoying some of the restaurant's famous menu items, including fried chicken.
However, several social media users pointed out that it is contradictory for Rashmika to promote chicken meals since she has publicly stated in the past that she is a vegetarian.
The ad went viral on Instagram, with a popular user calling out Rashmika for promoting chicken while claiming to be a vegetarian and supporting veganism.
Some users trolled her in the comments section, accusing her of lying and changing her words. Others defended Rashmika, stating that people have the right to eat what they want and that she doesn't owe anyone an explanation for her food choices.
Rashmika is set to appear in Pushpa 2 alongside Allu Arjun.
