Rashmika’s Truth Bomb: Acting Wasn’t Her Plan

She didn’t grow up rehearsing film scenes in the mirror or dreaming of red carpets. Rashmika Mandanna never planned to become an actress and that’s exactly what makes her story stand out.

In a recent chat, Rashmika looked back at her journey through Hindi cinema, starting with the explosive success of Animal, followed by Chhaava. While Sikandar didn’t quite hit the mark, she takes it all in stride. What matters more to her is how acting, something she never saw coming, ended up shaping her in the best possible way.

She spoke openly about the pressure that comes with fame, saying she no longer lets it weigh her down. “Success comes and goes,” she said, crediting her family and close circle for helping her stay level-headed through it all.

Rashmika didn’t offer advice as if she had it all figured out. Instead, she urged people to back themselves, chase what brings them joy, and not get stuck on approval from others. For her, every bump along the way is just part of the learning. Nothing more, nothing less.
