Rashmika Mandanna on how Vijay Deverakonda healed her
Speaking with Suma Kanakala in an interview, the actress said, “Choose who you want to be with. You shouldn’t be in a position where you have no choice but you’re 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.”
While interacting with fans, Rashmika drew parallels with her character Bhooma from The Girlfriend and revealed how her partner has helped her heal. She said, “Luckily, I have a partner who has healed me from a pain he didn’t cause. So, for me, just like Bhooma, he has helped me heal. This film has been significant for me, and he has played an equally important part. I have to give him that applause and thank him for it.”
Rashmika, without taking Vijay’s name, also shared that her partner always supports her when she is being trolled. She added that he reassures her, telling her that if there is nothing to it, she should stop overthinking.
