The stories of rags to riches are always very inspiring. The taste of victory in the end for the person who put his blood and sweat into something gives a different sense of satisfaction. So today, let’s talk about one such story, the story of a star who once struggled to meet ends, who comes from a family where parents couldn’t afford to buy her toys, and who today charges a whooping amount of Rs 4 crore per film. We are talking about the National Crush, the ‘Pushpa 2’ star Rashmika Mandanna.
Born on April 5, 1996, Rashmika Mandanna comes from a very humble family. In an old interview with Hindustan Times, Rashmika opened up about how while growing up she saw major financial issues. It wasn’t easy for her parents to pay house rent on time. Therefore, she never takes her success for granted as she knows what it feels like to be on the other side of the table.
She recalled moving from one house to another every two months. “I am taking the liberty of recalling how they used to find it hard to search for a place for us to live in and pay those rents,” she mentioned.
While walking down memory lane, the actress recalled that due to scarcity of funds, her parents couldn’t afford to buy her toys. The actress was mature enough to understand the situation and at the same time she showed huge humility when she mentioned that despite the financial strugglesher parents never said no to her for anything. Her childhood memories help her stay grounded.
“In my heart, I am still that girl who could not even buy a toy. I respect the money I earn, the love I receive, and the acknowledgment that I get as an actor. My childhood memories don’t let me take my success lightly, because I know this will not last forever,” she said.
However, the little girl has now grown and she has grown beautifully. It is like the caterpillar has bloomed into a butterfly. She made her debut in 2016 with ‘Kirik Party.’ The film was directed by Kantara actor, Rishab Shetty, and it helped Rashmika make an impression on the industry. Since then it’s been eight years and the actress has worked in several movies and even paved her way to Bollywood. In the South, she is currently the female lead of the highly awaited movie ‘Pushpa 2’
According to Forbes, she has a net worth of Rs. 66 crores. She charges Rs. 4 crore for every film but that is not the only source of income for her. Brand endorsements, advertisement shoots, and event appearances are a few other sources that have helped Rashmika establish an impressive financial portfolio.
She is also the proud owner of various prized possessions. Reportedly, she has a luxurious bungalow in Bangalore, which is worth Rs. 8 crores. Her real estate portfolio includes properties in Goa, Coorg, and Hyderabad
She also has a passion for high end expensive luxury cars. Reportedly her least expensive car is worth Rs 11 Lakhs and the most expensive in her possession is worth Rs 1.64 crores.
The ‘Pushpa 2’ star is among the richest female stars, who not only own lavish things, but a golden heart full of warmth, compassion, and humility.
