Rashmika Mandanna on staying grounded
Speaking about what keeps her grounded, Rashmika said, 'It's the people that surround me. My family, my friends, and my team provide me with utmost support, but they also help me stay grounded. And of course, my fans, who remind me why I do what I do and help me push through to give my best.'
The actress admitted that there are moments when she tells herself to slow down. 'There are days when I remind myself constantly to pause and reflect on everything. That's where journaling really helps. No matter what's happening around me, I try to stay connected to what's happening within me. That's what Dear Diary is all about—checking in with your own truth and leading with kindness, always,' said Rashmika, who is also the founder of the Dear Diary brand.
