Rashmika Mandanna opens up about struggles behind the success. Rashmika, fondly known as the National Crush, is currently riding high on success. With back-to-back hit films, she is acting in multiple projects across different languages, proving her versatility and popularity. Her recent film Kubera, directed by Sekhar Kammula and starring Dhanush, was a major blockbuster and added another feather to her cap.
While Rashmika Mandanna is in success professionally, she recently opened up about her personal struggles in an emotional interview. When asked how she enjoys her holidays, Rashmika revealed a painful truth—she often finds herself crying for a weekend break. She shared that she has a younger sister who is now 13 years old, and ever since her career began, she hasn’t been able to spend much time with her.
She expressed that she now feels more emotional about her sister than ever before. Rashmika hasn’t been home for the past one and a half years and misses her hometown, her friends, and the simple joys of life. In the past, her friends used to invite her for trips, but now, knowing how busy she is, they’ve stopped asking.
Rashmika also spoke about her mother’s advice: to succeed professionally, one must sacrifice a part of personal life, and vice versa. She admitted that balancing both has become very difficult.
Currently, Rashmika is working on multiple films, including The Girlfriend and Maiza in Telugu, and a Bollywood project with Thalapathy Vijay.
Despite her glowing career, Rashmika’s words are a reminder that even stars struggle to maintain a work-life balance and that success often comes with personal sacrifices.
