Missing Out on Family Moments

When asked how she feels about having a day off, Rashmika replied emotionally, “I cry for my off days.” She spoke about her younger sister, who is 16 years younger than her and now 13 years old. Rashmika said that in the past eight years of her busy career, she hasn’t seen her sister grow up.

> “She’s almost my height now, and I’ve missed the entire journey,” Rashmika admitted.

Work-Life Balance: A Daily Struggle

The actress confessed that she hasn’t been home in over a year and hasn’t met her close friends in a long time. She said, “Earlier, they used to include me in their plans. Now, they don’t. That’s the harsh truth.”

Rashmika’s mother once told her something she hasn’t forgotten:

“If you want success in your career, you’ll have to sacrifice your personal life. If you want a personal life, your career will take a hit.”

But Rashmika believes otherwise.

“I want both, and I’ll work twice as hard for it. It’s a daily fight,” she explained.

Nostalgia for Home

Remembering her hometown Coorg, Rashmika grew nostalgic.

She described the aroma in the air, the sight of coffee beans drying in the sun, and the simple charm of the roads.

“It’s been so long since I’ve seen all that,” she said longingly.

Childhood Dreams and Present Projects

Interestingly, Rashmika revealed she never imagined becoming an actress during her childhood. However, her journey has proven that dreams can be discovered along the way — and pursued with passion and determination.

On the professional front, Rashmika was last seen in Chhava and Kabira. She is now preparing for a horror-comedy titled Thama, alongside Ayushmann Khurrana. She has also wrapped up shooting for The Girlfriend and rece

ntly announced her next project, Meesaa.
