Rashmika Mandanna, who garnered immense praise for her portrayal of Geetanjali in Sandeep Reddy Vanga directorial 'Animal', has been notably absent from the spotlight following film's success. Also starring Ranbir Kapoor, Anil Kapoor and Triptii Dimri, the film performed exceptionally well at the box office. Now, Rashmika, who is currently engaged in shooting for Pushpa 2 alongside Allu Arjun, has finally explained her reasons for not publicly acknowledging the film's tremendous achievement.
She took to Instagram and dropped two mirror selfies from the sets of her upcoming films. The actress assured her followers that the film shoots are progressing smoothly and expressed her commitment to embracing her achievements. "Hi guys! Can’t show my full face as it’s a new film look, and I can’t reveal it before my film team does, as always. But the shoots are going really well – just wanted to let you all know.. Also, another thing that I wanted to just talk about is the topic that was going around saying ‘she’s not taking ownership of her success and all that’ Ok, here’s the thing. 1- I know it comes from a place of love, concern, and worry."

"We have delivered a massive film, and people loved it and appreciated it. I too wanted to take some time out to enjoy it, as every one of us wants to, but I was back on set the next day of my film release (being the amazing workaholic that I am), and hence I was and am unable to do a lot of interviews or events out there. I am having to do these overnight travels for work, and I am shooting for some of the biggest and most intense films in my career. And as you’ll know, I can’t really reveal the look before my film teams do, and hence I am unable to take photos or post some posts or go live as per yours or my wishes.
And I know you’ll are missing me and so am I, but I know for sure that when the films DO release, I know you’ll all be super duper happy, and it’s all gonna be worth it!! (I personally CAN’T WAIT for those moments). So please have patience with me because you should know that I am doing my best, and I am happy doing so for all of you, myself, and my teams. And now coming to ownership of the success .. Guys, your love, the messages to me are what make me happy and keep me going honestly, and I saw them in abundance; and again thank you so much for all the love.. always," she added.
