Actress Rashmika Mandanna recently addressed the trolling she faced after her film The Girlfriend released, while accepting the Best Actress award at the Telangana Gaddar Film Awards 2025. The event turned out to be a deeply emotional moment for her, both professionally and personally.

Held on March 19 during the Ugadi celebrations, the ceremony saw Rashmika win top honours for her role as Bhooma Devi in the film.

During her acceptance speech, Rashmika openly reflected on the criticism she had endured earlier. She said, “First they trolled my performance, and now the state has given me this award. I've come a long way,” highlighting her journey from facing online negativity to receiving recognition at a prestigious platform.

Her candid words struck a chord with the audience, and the emotional moment was made even more special by her mother-in-law’s reaction. Madhavi Deverakonda was visibly moved and cheered for Rashmika, making it one of the most talked-about highlights of the evening.

This appearance was also significant as it marked Rashmika’s first public outing after her wedding. She embraced a traditional newlywed look, wearing an elegant ivory saree along with sindoor and mangalsutra, symbolising her new phase of life.

Overall, the evening reflected Rashmika’s personal and professional growth. From being trolled for her performance to winning a state honour and receiving emotional support from her new family, the moment captured a full-circle journey that resonated strongly with fans and the film industry alike.
