The MLA further added that Rashmika further said, “I have my house in Hyderabad, I don’t know where Karnataka is, and I don’t have time. I can’t come’. One of our legislator friends visited her house 10–12 times to invite her, but she refused and even disregarded Kannada, despite growing up in the industry here. Shouldn’t we teach them a lesson?”
