Rashmika Mandanna has gradually paved her way to becoming a pan-India star. The actress has definitely surpassed the boundaries of being identified as a regional actress and continues to reach new heights in her career. In a recent interview, the Pushpa 2 actress addressed her former tag of being called the "National Crush" and shared that she has finally moved on from it.
Speaking with ETimes in a recent interview, Rashmika recalled being associated with the tag of "National Crush" after her performance in the Kannada movie Kirik Party. What started as being the crush of her college soon led to her being called the "Karnataka Crush" and then "National Crush."
