Raashii Khanna: Some roles don't ask, they demand your body and bruises
Mumbai: Actress Raashii Khanna shared her latest behind-the-scenes glimpses from her upcoming project and said that some roles demand everything.
Raashii took to Instagram, where she shared a slew of images. In the photographs, the actress appeared bruised, bloodied, and intensely focused. She could be seen in a simple T-shirt and black pants, with the visible injuries on her nose and hand.
For the caption, she wrote: 'Some roles don't ask. They demand. Your body. Your breath. Your bruises. And when you become the storm, you don't flinch at the thunder. Coming soon…'
Raashii has undergone rigorous physical training and stunt preparation for this project. Most recently, she took on the role of a determined journalist in The Sabarmati Report, a political drama film, based on true events, with direction by Ranjan Chandel, later replaced by Dheeraj Sarna.
It is based on the Godhra train burning incident of 27 February 2002, involving Sabarmati Express train. It also stars Vikrant Massey and Riddhi Dogra.
In other news, the actress recently featured in Farah Khan's YouTube vlog, where she shared she was initially 'not interested' for 'Madras Cafe', which marked her debut in cinema in 2013.
'I ran away from the first audition. There were a lot of people. It was an ad. It was a lip gloss ad. I was scared seeing so many people. I was always very shy,' Raashii said.
To which, Farah replied: 'It wasn't Mukesh Chabra?'
'No. They sent me to small auditions,' said Raashii, who added: ' There were auditions. But they didn't call a lot of people. There were no open auditions. I got an ad. I got a call from casting director Jogi Ji. Jogi Ji said Madras Cafe casting is happening.'
'I said 'I am not interested in films. I don't want to do it. I am here for a time pass'. I refused twice. The third time I said out of respect,' Raashii said.

Livvy Dunne channels 'Jersey Shore' vibes in leopard print and denim as she stuns back in New Jersey
Livvy Dunne embraces her inner Jersey girl with fierce leopard print and jean skirt combo in viral photos (Instagram) Livvy Dunne has entered her post-gymnastics era with the same flair and confidence that made her a household name during her time at LSU. While the 22-year-old has retired from collegiate athletics, it's clear she's just getting started when it comes to commanding the spotlight. From Sports Illustrated runways to ballpark glam, Dunne is showing no signs of slowing down — and fans are loving every minute of it. Back home in New Jersey, Livvy Dunne drops jaws in leopard print and a classic denim mini skirt After wrapping up her NCAA journey — which included iconic moments like her Texas cowboy hat look, her final leotard routine, and the stunning 'officially retired' dress she wore during a night out with her LSU teammates — Dunne has gracefully pivoted into a world full of fashion, media, and exciting personal milestones. An injury may have sidelined her from competing in the final championship, but it certainly hasn't dimmed her star. Livvy turned heads at the SI Swimsuit red carpet in New York alongside fellow gymnast Jordan Chiles, and later went viral with her show-stopping bikini split-pose at Swim Week in Miami. 'I was triple dog dared,' she said about the unexpected runway move — though every gymnast fan knows it was muscle memory and heart that really drove that moment. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Tickets for Blackpink's Singapore shows in November will cost between S$168 and S$428 CNA Read More Undo Back home in New Jersey, Livvy Dunne drops jaws in leopard print and a classic denim mini skirt (Instagram) When she's not owning the catwalk, Dunne is often spotted cheering on her boyfriend, Pittsburgh Pirates ace Paul Skenes.

Her custom Skenes jersey look during a Phillies matchup and her game-day outing with sister Julz against the Mets added to the social media frenzy surrounding the power couple. Now back in her home state of New Jersey, Dunne's making waves yet again. Her leopard-print outfit and playful Instagram caption — 'jersey shore we're so back 🐆' — lit up timelines and hinted at her fun summer plans along the coast. 'I'm going to miss gymnastics so much because it has been a part of me for almost 20 years,' Dunne told the Associated Press. 'What's next? Everything. I want to do all of the things that I couldn't do while I was a gymnast.' And with a confident smile, she added, 'There are some really cool opportunities — stay tuned.' One thing's for sure — wherever Livvy Dunne pops up next, she's going to shine. Also Read: Why Aaron Judge chooses isolation during Yankees road games despite his massive MLB fame
