World Happiness Day 2024: Pushpa 2 Star Rashmika Mandanna Talks About Safeguarding Mental Health

Rashmika Mandanna was last seen in Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Animal. Though the actress received a lot of flak from a section of the audience for playing the submissive Geetanjali to Ranbir Kapoor's burgeoning Ranvijay Singh. Regardless of the debate, the film became one of the highest grossers of the year with ₹915 crore in worldwide collections, as per a Sacnilk report.

Rashmika Mandanna opens up on keeping herself happy

Rashmika Mandanna has always been proactive when it comes to urging her followers to be the best version of themselves. At a recent press event, in lieu of World Happiness Day, the actress opened up about finding joy in the present and the littlest of things, to keep oneself going.

She said, "In today's fast-paced world, safeguarding our mental health is paramount, given the relentless pressures we face. My daily life often spans odd hours with hectic schedules and travels but I believe in living in the moment and find little joys in the smallest of things, be it small gestures of kindness that I witness around me, or just a quick indulgence of my K-drama or Anime. In my opinion, doing what you like and indulging yourself with small breaks helps destress quicker."
