Rashmika Mandanna’s Most Honest Talk Yet | Childhood, Love & Fame | Honest Townhall Ep 3

The wait is over. The full episode of Honest. Townhall with Rashmika Mandanna is here.

Not a media interview. A campus conversation.
No PR lines. No safe answers. Just straight talk, tough questions, and honest moments.

In this Honest. Townhall, Rashmika Mandanna opens up beyond the headlines — from childhood and college memories to her Fresh Face break, balancing studies with modelling; love, respect, and boundaries; handling trolls, pressure, and mental health; what fame feels like vs being understood; her craft — why she says “no,” chooses roles, and works across industries; the path from rejection to recognition, dream collabs, and what she’d do if not acting. Plus her fun side — anime/K-drama picks, travel resets, comfort rituals, thoughts on AI and deepfakes — and advice for students on confidence, careers, and community, rounded off with a rapid-fire of firsts and quirks.

This isn’t a celebrity interview.
This is Honest. Townhall — a Student Tribe format where students become the hosts and ask what others don’t.
