Karnataka congress mla ravi Kumar Gowda has sparked a huge controversy after he said that actress rashmika should be taught a lesson. karnataka congress mla ravi Kumar Gowda has further clarified his earlier statement after his comments on actress rashmika Mandhana sparked a controversy. His comments were widely discussed and criticized, especially among the Kodava community, and led to calls for the actress's protection. ravi Kumar Gowda, who made headlines for his controversial statement, had earlier said that rashmika Mandhana should be "taught a lesson" for not attending a government function. But now he said as if nothing had happened in an interview.
In it, "When I said I would teach her a lesson, I was talking about life lessons, but I didn't mean to attack her; I was saying don't kick the ladder you climbed." He added that his comments were meant to remind the actress of the importance of respecting the state she grew up in. "When rashmika mandanna was invited to our state function, she didn't come. I told her that you grew up eating state food, so stand up for it," Gowda said. He clarified that his intention was not to criticize her personally. Gowda added, "I have also seen rashmika Mandanna's film. I stand by my words. Our state, our land, and the kannada language should be respected." Despite her defense, the statement has already sparked controversy, especially after the actress refused to attend an earlier event in Karnataka. The comments come after Mandanna was invited to attend an international film festival in the state.

Gowda expressed his frustration that despite Mandanna starting her career in karnataka with the kannada film Krik Party, she refused to acknowledge the state's culture and language, and reportedly said, "I don't know where karnataka is, I don't have time." Following the comments, the Kodava National Council (KNC), of which rashmika is a member, raised serious concerns about the actress's safety. The council expressed regret over the comments and said that authorities should be called to provide security to Mandhana, adding that there is a possibility of harassment and threats. The Kodava community has urged Union home minister amit shah and karnataka State home minister G Parameshwara to ensure the safety of rashmika Mandhana. The community has submitted a formal letter to the Union home minister amit shah and karnataka State home minister G Parameshwara to take immediate action against the threats.

Actress rashmika Mandhana was last seen in the blockbuster films pushpa 2: The Rule and Chaaava, both of which have been significant commercial successes. Her next film, Sikander, opposite bollywood actor salman khan, is set to release during Ramzan. She is also seen in 'Kubera' opposite actor dhanush and 'Thama' starring Ayushmann Khurrana.
