‘Vegetarian’ Rashmika Mandanna gets slammed for savouring fried chicken in new advertisement

Rashmika Mandanna, who is set to appear in Pushpa 2 alongside Allu Arjun, is currently facing flak on social media.

Mandanna is getting trolled for promoting spicy fried chicken in a new advertisement of a popular burger brand in India when she claims to be a vegetarian.

Rashmika Mandanna’s recent advertisement, which has now gone viral on Instagram, shows her enjoying a chicken burger and Mc spicy fried chicken of the burger brand McDonalds.


The post, which showcased Mandanna’s advertisement on Instagram, said, "Any guesses why I am inside a Piri Piri hourglass... eating a burger in slow motion? �� Some things you #DontExplainJustEnjoy �� Just like the uniquely spicy Piri Piri McSpicy Chicken Burger…�� For Limited time only…. Get yours now�� Available at a @mcdonalds_india near you and on McDelivery �� #PiriPiriMcSpicy #ImLovinIt #McDonalds."

Several users on social media said that it is contradictory for the actor to promote non-vegetarian meals when she has publicly stated in the past that she is a vegetarian. “It might be fake chicken but yea she should not be doing the ad at the first place cause she says she is a vegetarian," a person said in a comment on the post. "Now at least understand why we Kanndigas don’t like herâ€æ. Because she changes her words here and there many times," another user posted in the comments section.

A netizen posted, "Apparently, vegetarian Rashmika Mandanna enjoys MC’Donald’s chicken burger. Celebs and their hypocrisy (sic)." Another user said, "Rashmika Mandanna is seen eating a chicken burger in the latest McDonald’s ad. Public asks - isn’t she vegetarian? Plant based (sic)?"
