Rashmika Mandanna has been on a roll in 2023 and 2024, delivering hit after hit with Animal, Pushpa 2: The Rule, and a string of upcoming films like Kuber, Sikandar, and The Girlfriend.

With a packed calendar and a growing fanbase, the actress is undoubtedly a force to be reckoned with.

No doubt, Rashmika continues to rule both the cover and the Indian film industry.

The 28-year-old actress, who graces the November-December issue, is known for her versatility and wide range of roles. In a candid conversation with Cosmo India Editor Pratishtha Dobhal, Rashmika opens up about her journey to stardom. “I think I am a manifestation of destiny,” she says, reflecting on how she never imagined acting as a career but always aimed to excel at whatever came her way. “It’s destiny that has brought me here today, but it’s also been a lot of hard work, patience, and a commitment to learning and improving every day.”
