\r\nRashmika\'s claim angers Kodavu community. Rashmika Mandanna, made rapid strides in the film industry and she created a niche for herself, scoring hits and blockbusters, and became the National Crush across the country.\r\nEven as fans are super thrilled with Rashmika Mandanna attaining stardom, Rashmika claims &ldquo;No one from the Kodava community has entered the film industry before me. I believe I\'m the first,\" angered her community.\r\nVeteran actor Neravanda Prema, who rose to fame in the 90s and early 2000s, speaking to scribes revealed \"What is there for me to say? The Kodava community knows the truth. You should ask her (Rashmika) about her version of the statement. What can I say about it?\"\r\nShe also added&nbsp; \"Before me, there was actor Shashikala from Coorg, who played supporting roles. Then I entered the film industry and later many Kodavas have done well.\" She starred in Telugu, Tamil and Malayalam films.\r\nNidhi Subbaiah who also starred in Kannada and Hindi films said&nbsp; \"It might&rsquo;ve been a joke, but just because she said it doesn&rsquo;t make it true. This should not be a serious issue at all. We should ignore it. She is doing well, and I wish her all the best. Prema is a superstar from our community. We always remember her. I don\'t know why Rashmika made that comment.\"\r\nTanisha Kuppanda added \"If that\'s true, Rashmika must be two decades old,\"&nbsp; and said Daisy Bopanna and Harshika Poonacha are the most celebrated Kodava actors. She said \"Some people want to talk about Kannada sometimes, and other times about their hometowns, just to appear perfect. But in doing so, they end up contradicting themselves.\"\r\nHarshika Poanacha however supported Rashmika saying \"Maybe Rashmika meant she was the first Kodava to reach No 1 in Telugu or Hindi cinema. But the Kodava community doesn&rsquo;t judge - we&rsquo;ve had legends like Field Marshal Cariappa, Prasad Bidappa in fashion, and icons in sports, politics, and yes, cinema. Rashmika just needs to think a little before she speaks. We all make mistakes. Let&rsquo;s not cancel, let&rsquo;s correct,\"\r\nFans also started trolling Rashmika for her claims.\r\n
