Girija Kalyanam Daily Serial – E261 – 10th Apr

Riding high on a wave of successful films and a splashy Bollywood movie opposite Ranbir Kapoor in “Animal,” Rashmika Mandanna remains refreshingly down-to-earth. In a recent interview, she offered a glimpse into the realities of navigating fame and the armor needed to thrive in the industry.

“Success comes with a magnifying glass,” Rashmika acknowledged. Every action, every word is dissected and analyzed, a constant public evaluation that can be mentally draining. “You can’t escape opinions,” she explained, “but without a thick skin, it can wear you down emotionally.”

Despite her meteoric rise, Rashmika stays grounded. She recognizes the privilege of her position and the countless talented individuals who yearn for similar opportunities. “There are girls out there far more skilled and beautiful than me,” she admitted, “but I’m incredibly grateful for the chances I’ve been given.” This humility, coupled with her unwavering determination, fuels her journey in the unforgiving world of entertainment.

Next up, Rashmika juggles a busy schedule with three Telugu movies alongside a Hindi film. She’ll be seen reprising her role as Srivalli in the highly anticipated sequel, “Pushpa 2: The Rule,” alongside stylish star Allu Arjun. She’s also filming for “Rainbow” and the female-centric “The Girlfriend,” while diving back into Hindi cinema with “Chaava.”
