After her glorious performance in the reboot of 바카라Mean Girls바카라 where she starred as Karen Shetty, the actor is now seen in Amazon Prime Video바카라s new show 바카라 바카라Big Girls Don바카라t Cry.바카라 In a recent interview, she opened up about how she is being trolled by people for her American accent.

In a conversation with iDream Media, Avantika Vandanapu talked about how people pulled out her older interviews and started trolling her for her accent. She talked about how immigrant children code-switch and talk in different accents depending on where they are. She said that it was natural for her to have an American accent because she was born and brought up in the United States.

Vandanapu said, 바카라I was born and raised in the US; it바카라s natural for me to have an American accent. A lot of immigrant kids code-switch, as in, we speak in an English accent at school and an Indian accent at home. But I think the Telugu audience is unfamiliar with it. I was trolled for how I speak in English, but I can바카라t speak Telugu everywhere, right?바카라

The actor said that she thought people would be proud of her achievements in Hollywood rather than focusing on her accent. She said that she would have been proud if she saw a Telugu girl make it big in the West. She continued, 바카라When a Telugu girl gains success in Hollywood, she should be supported. It바카라s unfair I was trolled for my accent. I would be proud and want to uplift, instead of troll. I thought people would be proud of me. I will keep doing what I will because my family is proud of me, and their opinions are the only ones that matter.바카라 

Avantika Vandanapu debuted in 2016 when she starred alongside Mahesh Babu in 바카라Brahmotsavam.바카라 Since then, she has worked with Naga Chaitanya, and Pawan Kalyan to name a few.
