Rashmika Mandanna conveys her profound gratitude
In an exclusive conversation with Pinkvilla, Rashmika Mandanna candidly reflects on being hailed as the national crush. She expresses, "The bottom line is that this is the love and acceptance of the audience because I don't know if a lot of people get that. I am one among a very few people, and I am conscious of it. I have not been like, 'Okay, I'm getting it because I deserve it.' No, it's like there is some connection between us. There is some bond that has been created between us. I am really grateful, so today, when they say the national crush, it sort of like it has a history by itself, honestly."
The Mission Majnu actress goes on to share the evolution of this endearing title in her journey, stating, "In Kirik party, there was this 'Okay, she is our crush.' So then it became like the Karnataka crush. Then, it became the South India crush. Now they call me the national crush. So, there's been a little growth and journey with itself. But it's special, and I feel like as long as my family or audience want me here, I'm going to be happy. I'm going to work the hardest every day without complaining. I'm going to make them proud."
