About this person
Rashmika Mandanna was born 5 April 1996 and began acting in 2016 with the Kannada film Kirik Party after a short modeling stint. She moved into Telugu cinema in 2018 and hit with Geetha Govindam, which won her a Filmfare Critics Award and set the commercial pattern: Sarileru Neekevvaru, Bheeshma, then the pan-India breakthrough Pushpa: The Rise in 2021. A supporting turn in Sita Ramam (2022) earned critical notice, but the bigger money came with Animal, Pushpa 2 (SIIMA Award for Best Actress), and Chhaava - all box-office titans, all critiqued for androcentric writing that left her at the margins. The Girlfriend in 2025 gave her a real character - a woman in a toxic relationship - and the reviews finally caught up. She's married to her co-star Vijay Deverakonda and ranks among India's highest-paid actresses.
