Shortly after addressing the criticism surrounding the relationship off, following their appearance in coffee with Karan season 9, a part of Rashmika’s statement has drawn attention on social media, with the internet users comparing her words to the scene from her film Animal co-starring Ranbir Kapoor. Rashmika, shared a lengthy note on Instagram addressing the criticism directed at her relationship with Vijay, and a part of her statement spoke about how Vijay has been there for her during difficult moments.
“When I snap a bone, you aren’t there. He is. When my stomach hurts every month, you aren’t there. He is. When I wake up in the middle of the night with anxiety, you aren’t there. He is,” she wrote.
A user on X shared this portion of Rashmika’s statement alongside scenes from Animal, where in the scene Rashmika’s character is seen confronting her parents about the support she received from her husband during difficult times, including her pregnancies and childbirth. She says, Then you should have shown when I was pregnant.
Drawing a comparison between the two, the user wrote a version with these lines is literally there in animal script. I’m not lying.
“My lovely people of the internet, to all those who deeply love and to those who are permanently bitter. My lil’ 2 cents on this whole issue concerning me and Vijju, read the post’ first paragraph.
further went on to say that the discussion had lost sight of what the couple was trying to convey.
Somewhere along the way, the whole point got lost. Maybe it didn’t fit your lens. Maybe some of you simply don’t want to see it. I’m writing this because I want to protect the people who believe in love, and I hope everyone gets to find their own version of it.”
“We’ve been bombarded with opinions, comments and unsolicited advice on all our profiles, mine and yours, unnecessarily. The conviction with which people came at us genuinely shook me a little. I was like, WHAT THE FK IS GOING ON?”
Similarly, husband Vijay Deverakonda also hit back at the trolls criticizing their relationship.
“My best friend, my wife, my woman. One of the most beautiful parts of my life that I got absolutely right. For all those concerned, we are both gloriously happy. I am blessed,” he wrote.
