Rashmika Mandanna Says Backlash Over Period Remark Makes Her Fear Going On Shows

The actor says repeated misinterpretations on X have left her wary of public appearances.

Overview

  • Mandanna’s recent comment on Zee5’s Jayammu Nischayammu Raa proposed that men experience periods once to grasp menstrual pain.
  • She told host Jagapathi Babu that hormonal swings and pain are hard to convey, citing her own severe cramps and a past fainting episode despite inconclusive medical tests.
  • Following online criticism, a fan shared a longer clip on X to contextualize her remarks as a plea for empathy rather than a comparison.
  • Mandanna replied that her words are often taken out of context, saying this fear keeps her from attending shows and interviews.
  • Discussion on X continues with both support and pushback, and there is no indication she has issued a retraction or apology.
