Rashmika wrote, "Sorry I've been silent for so long, but I've been watching a lot of stories, articles, comments and trolls about me. It has been disturbing me on how I was being portrayed and everything blew out of proportion and yes, I definitely don't blame you guys for it because that's what you'd believe and I am not here to justify anything or anyone.

Please stop judging her. Please let her be in peace (SIC).”
