Rashi Khanna, the talented actress who has made a name for herself in South Cinema, has now also gained recognition in Hindi films. Her impressive performance in ‘The Sabarmati Report’ last year won over the hearts of many. In a recent interview, Rashi revealed that she prefers to keep her parents away from the spotlight. She believes that stardom is simply a by-product of her career, and she has never actively sought it out. As for keeping her parents grounded, Rashi says they are the ones who keep her connected to reality. She doesn’t want them to feel like their daughter is a star, and instead, wants them to remain humble and down-to-earth.
Rashi’s friends are in Bollywood
Rashi doesn’t think she came into the industry with the intention of making friends. However, if friendships happen organically, that’s perfectly fine. She notes that many friendships develop during the 40-50 days of shooting, but it’s often challenging to maintain them. She doesn’t blame anyone for this, acknowledging that it’s just the way the industry works.
‘Shifting in Mumbai seems expensive’
When asked about potentially shifting from Hyderabad to Mumbai, Rashi admitted that she’s considered it many times but hasn’t been able to make the move. She loves the bigger homes in Hyderabad and finds that the equivalent in Mumbai comes with a hefty price tag. The cost of living in Mumbai can be overwhelming, making it difficult for her to justify the shift.
Regarding her upcoming film ‘Talas’, Rashi said, “The issue this film tackles is sensitive, and many people will see themselves in it. With the rising number of divorces, it’s essential to approach this topic with reliability. The question is, why do two people who marry to live together eventually decide to separate?” She praised the film’s team for their hard work in handling this complex subject.
Rashi’s powerful performance in ‘The Sabarmati Report’ last year won her widespread acclaim. She played the role of a reporter in the film, and when asked if the movie’s success had changed her career trajectory in Hindi cinema, Rashi replied, “Confidence grows with every film. When I was working on ‘The Sabarmati Report’, I had no idea how it would perform at the box office. I took on the project because I wanted to share the story with people.” Although she’s seen an increase in good work coming her way, Rashi remains humble and focused on her craft. This year, she has three more Hindi films lined up, with two already in the can. Her Pan India period horror film ‘Agathia’ is set to release on February 28, featuring Rashi alongside Jeeva and Arjun Sarja in lead roles.
