Aishwarya recently spoke about Rashmika Mandanna’s character of Srivalli from Pushpa: The Rise. She clarified that she never meant she would be better than Rashmika in the character and only shared that such a character would suit her.

In a note, she said her statement was misconstrued and that she has nothing but profound admiration for Rashmika’s work.

In her statement, she wrote, “Talking about work, I was asked in a recent interview on the kind of roles I want to do in Telugu cinema. I replied that I like the Telugu film industry a lot and that I would certainly do Telugu films if I got roles that were to my liking. To cite an example, I said I liked the character of Srivalli in Pushpa a lot as I felt such characters would suit me.”

She added, “However, unfortunately, my statement seems to have been misconstrued and is being reported in such a fashion so as to give the impression that I was disparaging the fantastic work of actress Rashmika Mandanna in the film.”

Rashmika has now reacted to Aishwarya’s statement. She wrote: “Hi love.. just came across this.. the thing is – I perfectly understood what you meant and I wish there were no reasons for us to explain ourselves and as you know I only and only have love and respect for you.. and ones again all the bestest for your film Farhana love (sic).”

Aishwarya’s recent release is Tamil coming-of-age thriller Farhana. In the film, she plays the central character and the story follows her character who is forced to take up a job in a call centre after her family struggles to make ends meet. The film also stars Jithan Ramesh, Aishwarya Dutta and Selvaraghavan in key roles.
