Vijay Deverakonda is frank in calling a spade a spade. The other day, he had something sharp to comment about the media going overboard regarding Rashmika Mandanna's break-up with Sandalwood director Rakshit Shetty.

During the promotions of 'NOTA', the actor was recently asked for his comments on his 'Geetha Govindam' co-star's break-up issue. "Ideally speaking, I shouldn't speak on it but I just can't shut up. I would say that it's wrong to milk someone's misery. I know you people get your salaries for asking such questions. But don't capitalize someone's pain to the point of being insensitive. Rashmika and Rakshit are going through hard times," Deverakonda said, mincing no words.

Rashmika will be seen opposite the actor in the currently-in-the-making 'Dear Comrade'.
