Smoke Emanates From Nagaon Express Train In Nellore

Actress Raashi Khanna, known for her impressive performances in both Bollywood and South Indian cinema, recently appeared on Farah Khan’s YouTube talk show and shared some heartwarming and surprising insights about her personal life, career journey, and her deep friendship with Bollywood actress Vaani Kapoor.

Raashi recalled her early days in New Delhi, where she pursued modeling as a hobby while studying. It was during one of these modeling gigs that she met Vaani Kapoor. “I introduced Vaani to my modeling agency. She was always clear about wanting to become an actor,” Raashi said. When Vaani moved to Mumbai to chase her dreams, she encouraged Raashi to do the same. “We were roommates in Mumbai for a while,” she added.

Speaking about their strong but low-key friendship, Raashi said, “We’re best friends, but we don’t flaunt our bond on Instagram. There’s a misconception that actresses can’t be friends, which I think is completely false.”

Interestingly, Raashi also opened up about how acting wasn’t originally part of her plan. She revealed that she initially turned down Soojit Sircar’s Madras Cafe twice, despite it starring John Abraham. “When they called me for the third time, I finally agreed to meet,” she said. That decision changed her life—Madras Cafe marked her debut in Bollywood in 2013.

Just a year later, Raashi made her Telugu debut with the critically acclaimed Oohalu Gusagusalade, which cemented her place in the South Indian film industry.

From an accidental actress to a pan-Indian performer, Raashi Khanna’s journey is proof that destiny often finds you—even when you’re not looking.
