In Jagapathi Babu’s talk show Jayammu Nischayammura, Rashmika Mandanna said that men should also get periods just like women, and this statement has indeed stirred discussions online. A few criticized the actress, stating that men also have their share of problems, and that they will not show it to the world.

A fan posted the complete video in which the actress said, “Men should get periods just once to understand the pain, trauma, and hormonal imbalance. No matter how much we explain, men don’t know exactly how it feels while going through that phase. They should get tummy pain once to understand how difficult it will be to bear. Just once. After that, they shouldn’t get that pain.”

Rashmika added that she consulted many doctors to get relief from tummy pain. Rashmika has now offered clarification about her comments. She took to X and wrote, “And this no one will talk about. The fear of going to shows and interviews is this for me. I mean something, and it’s taken in something else entirely.”
