Rashmika Mandanna recently shared a reel talking in her native language. When it left fans confused, she explained all about it to fans.

Rashmika Mandanna wore her saree in traditional Kodava style while attending a friend’s wedding recently.

Actor Rashmika Mandanna shared her roots with her fans in a recent video. She took to Instagram to share a reel, speaking in her mother tongue, kodava takk from Karnataka. “To all the kodavas out there..this is for you! Always grateful,” she wrote, sharing the video.

‘Kodagu is where I was brought up’

While some fans could recognise what language she was speaking in, some also sharing their love for the Coorgi language, most couldn’t understand what she was saying.

Sharing the reel on her Instagram stories, Rashmika explained further and wrote, “For all those who are asking what I am saying here or what language am I speaking..this is my mother tongue – it’s called Kodava Takk..Kodagu is where I was born and brought up in. I’ve been speaking kodava takk all my life…and this is how beautiful it sounds..And so as to what I am saying..you’ll only know if you know the language or if you have a Kodava friend.”
