Sometimes, dreams move faster than time — and Rashmika Mandanna’s words recently proved that. While promoting her upcoming film “The Girlfriend”, directed by Rahul Ravindran and presented by Allu Aravind, Rashmika ended up speaking less about cinema and more about life itself.
Backed by Dheeraj Mogili and Nene, the film was naturally expected to be the highlight of the event, but what truly caught everyone’s attention was Rashmika’s heartfelt and grounded conversation.
She opened up about the pressures of the film industry, saying that working nonstop isn’t something to glorify. “I work a lot too, but I always tell others not to. Our body and mind need rest,” she shared. Rashmika said she dreams of having a “proper 9-to-6 life” someday — one that leaves space for family, workouts, rest, and peace of mind. Her words didn’t sound like a celebrity statement but rather a sincere confession from someone learning balance the hard way.
Then came the line that melted hearts everywhere. With a warm smile, Rashmika said, “I’m not a mother yet, but I know one day I will be. I already think about my kids — how to keep them safe, how to give them a good life.” The moment was real and relatable — no pretence, just emotion.
Fans flooded social media with love, calling her thoughts “pure, honest, and homely.” Rashmika ended her talk with a thoughtful note: people should hustle hard in their 20s and 30s, but by 40, they should learn to strike balance and live mindfully.
Between promoting The Girlfriend and sharing these heartfelt reflections, Rashmika reminded everyone that behind the stardom is a young woman navigating life just like anyone else — one lesson, one dream, one honest moment at a time.
