Rashmika Mandanna, one of India’s most loved actresses and often called the “National Crush,” recently shared what her life looks like when she’s not busy shooting for films. In an interview, Rashmika gave fans a heartfelt and honest peek into her routine on days when the cameras are off and she gets time for herself.
Slow and Peaceful Mornings
Speaking to IANS, Rashmika said that when she has a day without any shooting, she prefers to slow things down and focus on her mental peace.
“My mornings usually begin with writing in my diary,” she revealed. “Journaling helps me feel connected to the present moment and reminds me to be thankful for what I have.”
Apart from this, she loves to spend time with her pet dog, go for peaceful walks, read a good book, or watch some shows she may have missed due to her busy schedule.
Not Fully Off Duty
Even though it’s a break from film sets, Rashmika doesn’t fully disconnect from work. She mentioned that she often attends calls related to brand endorsements or spends time on her own brand, ‘Dear Diary’, where she is actively involved in all aspects of decision-making as a founder.
“Even on my quiet days, I try to stay connected to things I care about,” she said. “But I always make sure there’s time for calm moments — with family, nature, or just being by myself. These moments help me recharge.”
From ‘Kuberaa’ to ‘The Girlfriend’
Rashmika was last seen in the movie ‘Kuberaa’, a crime-thriller directed by Sekhar Kammula. The film stars Nagarjuna Akkineni, Dhanush, Jim Sarbh, and Dalip Tahil. The story revolves around a beggar who goes through a major transformation, and it touches upon deep human emotions like greed, ambition, and the fight between right and wrong, eventually leading to the character’s journey for redemption.
Upcoming Films: ‘The Girlfriend’ and ‘Thama’
Looking ahead, Rashmika is set to appear in ‘The Girlfriend’, a Telugu-language film directed by Rahul Ravindran. Not much has been revealed about the story yet, but it is expected to be an emotional and dramatic film.
She is also working on an exciting project titled ‘Thama’, where she stars alongside Ayushmann Khurrana. Described as a dark love story with a supernatural twist, ‘Thama’ follows a historian who dives into old manuscripts, only to uncover chilling truths about vampire legends in a mysterious region. As ancient forces begin to rise, the story turns into a gripping tale of mystery, love, and danger.
