Diwali 2022 will be quite special for Rashmika Mandanna, who made her Bollywood debut this year. The actress will be taking a much-needed break and flying back to her home in Hyderabad to spend time with her family. Rashmika – who will soon begin shooting for Pushpa 2: The Rule, a franchise that made her immensely popular – opens up about teaming up with co-star Allu Arjun again, how Bollywood’s big fat Diwali bashes have left her mesmerised and more. Excerpts:
Currently, you are working across film industries on a lineup of back-to-back projects. Amidst your hectic schedule, are you excited about this break for Diwali? What are the celebrations going to be like this year?
I have taken a day off on the 24th, and I will be going home to Hyderabad to celebrate Diwali. I am shooting for a song currently, and once I am done, I will be free to binge on Diwali sweets. Having lived in Karnataka and then making Hyderabad home, I can see the differences in the culture and traditions. But overall, the way the festival is celebrated, its vibe is the same all over. I am very excited as we do a puja at home, the entire family is together, and we all chat throughout the day. It all begins with Dhanteras. I have this habit which I have been following since way before I stepped into the industry. I buy some silver or gold during the New Year, or before I start a new project. I like doing this during auspicious and festive days too.
