Rashmika Mandanna on stardom
From being a Kannada actor to becoming a well-known face in Telugu, Tamil and Hindi cinema, Rashmika has come a long way. The actor stated in the interview that her ‘goal is to put a smile on people’s faces’ over achieving superstardom. She also stated that she likes to remember her Coorgi roots no matter what she achieves.
She said, “Luckily, it’s not an extra effort that I need to make (to have humility). My brain is already wired in a way… (I know) that all the things that we adore, all the things we enjoy, all these luxuries, can stay or go in an instant. That is something that keeps me grounded and connected to my roots.”
Rashmika also credited her family and friends for keeping her grounded despite it all. “They’re the right kind of people in my life, all of whom believe in being grounded… so that also plays a very important part and really helps, you know? Surrounded by such people, I can say I’m in a good space right now!”
