As Rashmika Mandanna reflects on her journey in the film industry, the actress penned an emotional note as she celebrates 9 years in the industry, expressing gratitude and acknowledging the unwavering support of her fans.
The actress, who made her debut with the Kannada film "Kirik Party" in 2016, took to social media to share her feelings. "Sometimes you just pause and think. Damn! How did it all happen? When did it all happen? Why did it all happen? And I am so freaking glad – that it all, happened!". She continued, "Grateful. Anchored. At peace. Happy! This is everything that I've always dreamed of".
In her heartfelt note, Mandanna emphasized the importance of having the right people around her, stating, "I'd have not realised it and would've kept running towards something I don't even know what, but being with the right people makes you realise that sometimes you should just pause and realise that – this is it!".
Mandanna's recent emotional expressions aren't isolated. She was visibly moved at the success meet for her film, "The Girlfriend," where she teared up in response to the outpouring of love and appreciation from fans. Videos circulating online captured Mandanna listening intently, seemingly holding back tears, showcasing a genuine connection with her audience.
Fellow actor Vijay Deverakonda, who attended the "The Girlfriend" event, praised Mandanna's performance and her character, noting her innocence and kindness. "I have been watching Rashmika since the time of the film Geetha Govindam," Deverakonda said. "She is exactly like Bhooma Devi. There is an unknown innocence in her, Rashmika never thinks about herself even once. She wanted everyone to be happy on the set. She still does".
Deverakonda further added, "Her journey that started from there has now reached the point where she can choose strong scripts for herself like The Girlfriend. I don't know who will watch it, but I want to tell such stories to those who do. Rashi... I am so proud to watch your journey".
Mandanna has indeed had a busy and successful year, with multiple releases including "Chhaava", "Sikandar", "Kuberaa", "Thamma" and "The Girlfriend". She also garnered praise for her role as Gitanjali in the film "Animal", with Mandanna describing her character as the "only force at home holding her family together".
In the context of Father's Day 2020, Mandanna penned a note for her father, acknowledging him as a pillar of support. She reflected on their journey and how it took her years to understand her father's way of expressing emotions.
While rumors have circulated about a potential engagement and upcoming marriage to Vijay Deverakonda, neither party has confirmed these reports. Despite the personal life speculation, Rashmika Mandanna remains focused on her career and continues to connect with her fans through her work and heartfelt expressions of gratitude.
