The actress, who often remained silent over her personal life despite several dating rumours, finally revealed that she is in a relationship. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the actress was talking about her ‘happy place’ where she accidentally revealed about her partner.

What did Rashmika say?

”Home is my happy place. It makes me feel anchored, makes me feel rooted, makes me feel like success can come and go, but it’s not forever.” The Pushpa 2 actress went on to add, “But home is forever. So, I work from that space. As much as the love and this fame and the visibility that I get, I still am just a daughter, just a sister, just a partner,” she said.

In the same chat, she also spoke about what she finds the best in a man. ”I am drawn to people who have a smiley face. And, of course, someone who respects people around them no matter who they are,” she added. Rashmika is often linked with South star Vijay Deverakonda, however, neither of them ever made it official.
