Expressing pride in India's progress over the past decade, Rashmika emphasised the country's smart decisions and burgeoning infrastructure

Digital Desk: Actress Rashmika Mandanna, known for her work in both Mumbai and Hyderabad, recently shared her enthusiasm for India's latest infrastructural marvel, the Atal Setu Bridge. In an interview with ANI, she hailed the bridge as a game-changer for travel, noting how what used to be a two-hour journey can now be completed in just 20 minutes, connecting cities like Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, Goa, and Bangalore seamlessly.

Expressing pride in India's progress over the past decade, Rashmika emphasised the country's smart decisions and burgeoning infrastructure. She commended the nation's growth trajectory, remarking on the brilliance of recent developments and road planning initiatives.

“Ab toh India ne naa Sunna bandh kar diya hai. They’re not willing for it anymore. So, I think now, at least, India is not stopping anywhere. Nobody is saying it’s not possible in India or you know, it’s impossible for India. It’s freaking brilliant in the last 10 years how the country has grown. The infrastructure, the plan in our country, the road planning – it is just brilliant – I think now it’s our time! I just got to know that it’s all done in seven years and it’s 20 km. It’s amazing! Look at it. I am speechless,” she told ANI.

Rashmika underscored the importance of the ongoing Lok Sabha Elections, urging the youth to vote responsibly and highlighting the increasing political awareness and engagement among young Indians.

In addition to her advocacy for civic participation, Rashmika also confirmed her role in the upcoming action film "Sikandar" alongside Salman Khan and A.R. Murugadoss, expressing gratitude for the opportunity on her Instagram story.

Rashmika verified that she is starring in Salman Khan and A.R. Murugadoss’ action movie Sikandar. The actress shared a story on her Instagram earlier this week: “You guys for a long time have been asking me for the next update and here it is… Sikandar. I am truly grateful and honoured to be a part of Sikandar.”
