Rashmika confirms being in a relationship

When asked about her happy place, Rashmika Mandanna said, "Home is my happy place. It makes me feel anchored, makes me feel rooted, makes me feel like success can come and go, but it’s not a forever. But home is forever. So, I work from that space. As much as the love and this fame and the visibility that I get, I still am just a daughter, just a sister, just a partner. I really respect that life, that personal life that I have. Right now, I am living in the best of both worlds, but I am someone who will guard this personal life with my own life. "

When asked about the qualities that attract her to a man, Rashmika said, "They say eyes are the window to one’s soul. I think I believe in that, and I keep smiling, so I am drawn to people who have a smiley face. And, of course, someone who respects people around them no matter who they are."

He further clarified that he would share details about his love life only when the time felt right, adding that he would never disclose it under external pressure.
