Rashmika on Public vs Private Self

In an interview with Nayandeep Rakshit, Rashmika shared, 'I am an actor, and I am working under this brand called Rashmika Mandanna. With all the advice people give ‘Oh, you can't say this, you can't behave like this, you can't do this’ that becomes your online personality. It is a part of you, but it is not entirely you.'

She went on to clarify the differences between her public and private selves. 'If you see me at home, you will be surprised at what an old-school person I am. I will be the one feeding everyone, checking if they have rested well. I don't understand Gen Z terms. I can't keep up with these things. I am really an emotional person, but I can't really show it outside, because honestly, these days, people think kindness is fake.'
