There's an easy charm that takes centre stage when you converse with Raashii Khanna. She might initially come across as having a restrained personality but the minute she's comfortable with you, she starts becoming more and more bubbly and her effervescence rubs off on you as well. Being a Delhiite, she loves to gossip and to eat. She groans she has to put curbs on both being an actress. While she's easy and candid when it comes to questions pertaining to her profession, she draws a line when it comes to personal stuff, so no questions on her love life, please.
She grabbed eyeballs with her layered character in the OTT show Rudra: The Edge Of Darkness, where she was seen alongside Ajay Devgn. Making quite a memorable entry in the OTT space, her quirky character was much appreciated by the masses and the critics alike. 2023 looks exciting for her, not only does she have Raj and DK's crime thriller Farzi in her kitty alongside Shahid Kapoor and Vijay Sethupathi, but she also has Yodha with Sidharth Malhotra under the Dharma Productions banner, which the actress quips is a dream come true.
While Rudra has been a complete game changer for her, she says that she didn't relate at all to her character, Dr. Aliyah Choksi. Which is precisely why it was important for her to audition and convince everyone of her calibre. "I was ready to give auditions for certain kinds of roles which people thought weren't my type. When you see me in Rudra, you will see my face and wonder, 'How will she play a psychopath?' But then I was like, 'You know, I am ready to audition for this to dispel such myths,'." She's all about finding her depth as an actor and has no qualms about giving multiple auditions.
