Rashmika Mandanna’s old “Mr. Show-off” comment about Yash has once again become a talking point on social media. The remark, made during a 2017 interview, had created controversy at the time, with Rashmika facing criticism and trolling before later apologising publicly.
During a recent interview for the promotions of Toxic, Yash was asked about the resurfaced comment. Rather than reacting negatively, the actor responded calmly and said he did not know what Rashmika actually meant when she made the statement.
Yash recalled that Rashmika was very young and still at an early stage of her career in 2017. He explained that television interviews often involve anchors giving celebrities multiple choices and asking them to select an option, meaning such remarks may not always carry the seriousness that people later attach to them.
The actor further revealed that he never took the comment personally. According to Yash, people are free to form their own opinions about him, but those opinions do not determine his identity or define the person he is.
His composed response has now shifted attention from the old controversy to the way both actors have evolved over the years. While Rashmika has established herself as one of the leading actresses in Indian cinema, Yash has grown into one of the country’s biggest pan-India stars.
As Toxic continues to generate major anticipation, Yash’s remarks have once again brought the old “Mr. Show-off” episode into the spotlight, with fans discussing the incident and the actor’s mature take on it.
