This is just a beginning ?
A third noted Rashmika's words and explained, "Everyone grew up listening to Bollywood romantics songs but the statement South is all about mass masala item songs is so wrong, South satisfies all categories, she should have learnt south languages first but Atleast coming into TFI should have realized that south has best songs."

I am shocked to hear her statement. During 90s we grew up listening to many Tamil,Telugu,Kannada & Malayalam romantic songs.SPB has world record for singing 40,000 songs in 16 languages,atleast 40% of them are romantic songs.Dear Rashmika,keep feet on ground while flying in sky.

Omg yet again such a damaging statement @BoSouthIndia. There isn't anything wrong while she got to say something about Bollywood songs but there wasn't any need to mention about South there. That's what is making the statement damaging @iamRashmika
