National crush Rashmika Mandanna was subjected to online trolling after she was paired opposite Bollywood superstar Salman Khan in Ghajini fame director AR Murugadoss’ upcoming movie ‘Sikandar'. What started as an exciting collaboration between two of India’s most loved stars soon became the subject of online trolling.
Trolls attacked them for the age gap—Salman Khan being in his late 50s while Rashmika is in her mid-20s. The trolls, known for their harsh and often unwarranted commentary, began to target the pairing, questioning the authenticity of their chemistry and, more unfairly, passing judgment on their age difference.
However, with their electric and captivating on-screen chemistry, Rashmika and Salman have silenced the trolls. Recently, the makers released the first song, ‘Zohra Jabeen’ and both Salman and Rashmika are winning over hearts with their chemistry.
Turning the Tables: The On-Screen Chemistry:
Despite the criticism, Rashmika Mandanna and Salman Khan’s chemistry in their film has proven to be nothing short of magical. Right from their first few glimpses on screen together, the magic of their connection became apparent. While Salman Khan brought his signature charm and experience to the table, Rashmika’s youthful energy and infectious enthusiasm were the perfect foil.
Their on-screen rapport was so natural and engaging that it quickly overshadowed the narrative surrounding the age difference. The way they played off each other in emotional, romantic, and action-packed sequences was enough to silence even the harshest of critics.
Rashmika’s Response: Confidence and Class:
Rashmika’s ability to hold her ground alongside a megastar like Salman Khan spoke volumes about her talent. Her portrayal of a strong, independent character with layers of vulnerability and warmth complemented Salman’s usual larger-than-life presence, leading to an exciting and balanced dynamic on screen.
“When you have great material and a wonderful co-star, age is just a number,” Rashmika said in one of her interviews.
Fans’ Reaction & The Power of Support:
While trolls may have created an initial stir, it was the overwhelming support from fans that truly put the critics in their place. Many fans took to Twitter and Instagram, celebrating the chemistry between the two stars and sharing how excited they were to see them together on screen.
The social media platforms quickly filled with hashtags like #SalmanRashmikaChemistry, #AgeIsJustANumber, and #RashmikaSalman, as fans expressed their admiration for the duo.
Meanwhile, the film’s teaser clips have garnered millions of views within hours with fans eagerly waiting for the Eid release.
