Rashmika Mandanna opens up about stardom, says she's working for the brand 'Rashmika Mandanna'
Millions know Rashmika Mandanna as a bubbly, stylish, and confident star—but behind that carefully shaped public image lies a more grounded and deeply emotional person, one that fans rarely get to see. In a recent candid interview, the actor opened up about how the pressures of stardom often force her to present a curated version of herself to the world. Rashmika Mandanna says she is a grounded, old-school private self who struggles with social media scrutiny. Rashmika talks about difference between her online and offline persona In an interview with Nayandeep Rakshit, Rashmika said, "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 describe the stark contrast between her public and private selves. "If you see me at home, you will be surprised 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." Rashmika also opened up about the emotional strain of being in the public eye, admitting that social media and online chatter affect her. She admits that her problem is that she cares too much and does get affected by it. However, it has been a constant journey of going through it and healing from it over all these years. Rashmika's latest work This year, Rashmika Mandanna has showcased her versatility across languages and genres. She portrayed Maharani Yesubai in Laxman Utekar's period drama Chhaava, opposite Vicky Kaushal in the titular role. She also starred as Saisri Rajkot in AR Murugadoss' action entertainer Sikandar, alongside Salman Khan. In the bilingual Telugu-Tamil film Kuberaa, directed by Sekhar Kammula, she played Sameera, sharing screen space with Dhanush and Nagarjuna. Rashmika's upcoming slate includes the Hindi film Thama and the Telugu female-led drama The Girlfriend, continuing her streak of balancing mainstream cinema with performance-driven roles.

Pawan Kalyan Opens Up On Bond With Chiranjeevi, Says ‘We Hardly Speak About Films'
Pawan Kalyan says that being Chiranjeevi's younger brother hasn't fetched him any advantages. He further attributes Ram Charan and allu Arjun's success to their own merit. That the Telugu film industry is dominated by big film families is no secret. They're replete with actors and producers, who have simultaneously forayed into film distribution, exhibition and politics. And one of the most popular brother duos is Chiranjeevi and Pawan Kalyan. While the former continues to make movies, the latter is currently serving as the Deputy Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh. Last month, Kalyan had a release with Hari Hara Veera Mallu after two years, the trailer of which won praises from his family. Taking to X, Chiranjeevi wrote, how 'absolutely delighted (sic)' he was to see his younger brother 'setting movie screens on fire after almost 2 years'. Kalyan's nephew Ram Charan also couldn't stop gushing. 'Watching Pawan Kalyan Garu on the big screen will be a treat for all of us (sic)," he wrote. But interestingly, dinner table conversations hardly comprise of work. Speaking exclusively to News18 Showsha, Kalyan says, 'We don't talk about acting and films. From an outsider's perspective, I understand that it may look interesting that there are lots of actors in the same family, but it's true that we hardly speak about cinema. When my brother and I sit down, we talk about our mother, our parents and reminisce about our childhood. Let me put it this way that in an hour-long conversation, we discuss cinema for only two-three minutes. We don't even discuss each other's recent works." But what's his thoughts on Charan and Allu Arjun? 'They're good. They're doing an excellent job. I feel very good about the success that they've achieved. They're capable of reaching great heights. They've earned their success solely on their own merit," shares Kalyan. For the unversed, Arjun is son of Allu Arvind, brother-in-law of Kalyan's elder brother, Chiranjeevi. And even with them, conversations surrounding work are far and few. However, the Gabbar Singh and Attarintiki Daredi actor, popularly known as Power Star, believes that being related to Chiranjeevi hasn't won him perks. 'Even though my brother is Chiranjeevi and it's a fact that I come from a good background, I've seen financial difficulties throughout my career for most of my films. But I've always stood my own ground," he says. In fact, he even refused to take help from Chiranjeevi even when his films were engulfed in financial troubles. 'To release a film, I've had to run from pillar to post, not knowing what to do. I thought things will get better over time but the size of the load kept increasing and the situation never changed. Budgets kept increasing and the financial load of making a film has always hit me. I had to forgo my remuneration. I had to send my signatures to financiers for a film to get released. These things kept happening. I don't know how the other actors deal with it but in my case, such issues are recurring," Kalyan remarks.
