When famous actress Rashmika Mandanna talked about the ‘Mumbai Trans Harbour Link’ bridge, which is the longest in India, some people criticized her for supporting the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) just before the elections in certain Northern states. Now, she’s shared another video talking about the Atal Setu, a bridge that’s 7 kilometers long, fulfilling the dreams of many.
In her latest video, she asked everyone to vote for development. Prime Minister Narendra Modi responded to her, saying, “Absolutely! Nothing more satisfying than connecting people and improving lives.” This reply suggests that the actress is supporting the BJP, and her fans started saying that the ‘national crush is a nationalist.’
It’s common for famous actresses to endorse political parties in this country. From Jayalalitha to Kangana Ranaut, Hema Malini to Jaya Bachchan, actresses often start by endorsing parties and later may even run for elections. Whether Rashmika will follow a similar path in the future is something we’ll have to wait and see.
