Rashmika Mandanna credits partner for emotional healing amid success of The Girlfriend
In a recent interview, Rashmika Mandanna talked about her current happiness and healing, crediting her partner for his support, without naming Vijay Deverakonda.
Rashmika Mandanna recently opened up about her personal life and thanked her partner for playing a vital role in her emotional healing. The actor, who is currently enjoying the success of his new film ‘The Girlfriend’, reflected on his experiences in relationships during the promotional activities of the film.
In a post-release interview with host Suma Kanakala, Rashmika discussed the importance of choice in relationships. He stressed that no one should feel forced to remain in a relationship without genuine happiness. “Choose who you want to be with. You shouldn’t be in a situation where you have no choice but to be with a partner. I have been in that situation. Today, when I choose to be with a person, I am happy, that person is happy, and everyone around is happy,” Rashmika said.
The actress drew parallels between her real life and her role as Bhumaa in ‘The Girlfriend’, where her character recovers from a difficult relationship. Rashmika shared that her current partner has played an important role in helping her overcome past emotional pain.
“Fortunately, I have a partner who has healed me from the pain that she did not cause. So, for me, like Bhumaa, she has helped me heal. This film has been important to me, and she has played an equally important role. I have to give her that appreciation and thank her for that,” she said, highlighting the support she has received.
Rashmika didn’t mention her partner by name during these conversations, but her words echo the recent public interest in her relationship with actor Vijay Deverakonda. The pair has been spotted together at events, leading to speculations about their engagement and future plans.
Sources reveal that Rashmika and her partner have supported each other through challenging times, especially in the face of public scrutiny and online criticism. She revealed that he encourages her not to think too much about negative attention if it lacks substance.
Following the engagement news, Rashmika has reportedly been seen scouting potential wedding venues, although the couple has opted to keep the details private. Vijay Deverakonda’s recent appearance at an event of ‘The Girlfriend’, where he was seen celebrating with Rashmika, has drawn more attention to their relationship.
‘The Girlfriend’ stars Rashmika in the lead role, whose story focuses on reclaiming autonomy and healing from past relationships. Directed by Rahul Raveendran, the film also stars Dixit Shetty, Anu Emmanuel and Rao Ramesh.
