Her statement read, "I was asked in a recent interview on the kind of roles I want to do in Telugu cinema. I replied that I would certainly do Telugu films if I got roles that were to my liking. To cite an example, I said I liked the character of Srivalli in Pushpa a lot as I felt such characters would suit me. However, unfortunately, my statement seems to have been misconstrued and is being reported in such a fashion so as to give the impression that I was disparaging the fantastic work of actress Rashmika Mandanna in the film," she said.

The statement added, "I would like to request those peddling rumours to stop speculating and attributing malicious motives to a simple statement that I made while trying to explain the roles which I thought were of my kind."
