On the occasion of her birthday, let's take a look at the wonderful journey of her career, where while reaching from South to bollywood, she made even small roles big with her acting and gained popularity across the country by working with big stars.
Rashmika started her career in 2016 with the kannada film 'Kirik Party'. This film was not only her debut film but also became a turning point in her life. Her onscreen and offscreen chemistry with her co-star rakshit shetty in this film caught everyone's attention. The two came close during the shooting of the film and got engaged on 3 July 2017 in a private ceremony in Rashmika's hometown Virajpet. At that time, rashmika was only 21 years old, while rakshit was 34 years old. The engagement pictures went viral on social media and fans loved the couple. But the relationship did not last long. In september 2018, the two broke the engagement by mutual consent. However, some reports said that Rashmika's focus on her career also became the reason for this breakup. After this breakup, rashmika had to face a lot of trolling, but she did not lose courage and focused on her work.
After the success of the Kirik Party, rashmika entered telugu cinema. Her pairing with vijay deverakonda in Geeta Govindam (2018) was a hit, after which the rumors of their relationship started, but the real blast came when Pushpa: The Rise was released in 2021. rashmika won the hearts of the whole country by playing the character of Srivalli opposite Allu Arjun. The film grossed over Rs 365 crore in india and earned rashmika the title of National Crush. The recently released pushpa 2: The Rule took her popularity to new heights by collecting over Rs 1600 crore worldwide. This is her biggest hit film to date.
Rashmika made her bollywood debut in 2022 with Goodbye, in which she appeared opposite amitabh Bachchan. Although the film flopped at the box office and her role was small, her presence caught attention. After this, her pairing with ranbir kapoor in Animal in 2023 grossed over Rs 900 crore. In 2024, she rocked the box office with 'Chava' opposite Vicky Kaushal. At the same time, now she has appeared in 'Sikander' opposite salman Khan. However, this film is struggling at the box office in terms of earnings. The interesting thing in these facts is that rashmika had less screen time in all these films, yet these became her highest-grossing films.
There have been many turning points in Rashmika's career, but the character of Shrivalli in pushpa proved to be a game-changer for her. This role took her out of the boundaries of the South and gave her recognition all over India. Shrivalli's simplicity, dance moves, and her pairing with allu arjun made the audience crazy. Songs from the film like "Saami Sami" and "Srivalli" are still on everyone's lips. Her character became stronger in pushpa 2, which made her a pan-India superstar. It was this character that made her travel from national crush to top bollywood actress.
After her breakup with rakshit shetty, Rashmika's name started being linked with her Geeta Govindam and dear comrade co-star Vijay Deverakonda. The onscreen chemistry and offscreen friendship of the two fueled the rumors. The two were spotted together many times, like during New Year celebrations in goa or family brunches. Recently, Vijay confessed in an interview that he is not single, after which the discussion of his relationship with rashmika intensified. However, the two never officially confirmed it. rashmika had said on the question of marriage at an event, 'Everyone knows about it', which got fans more excited and once again fueled the speculation of their relationship.
