Mumbai, Nov 3 - Actress Rashmika Mandanna recently engaged with her fans in an "Ask Me Anything" session on Instagram, where she responded to a range of questions with her characteristic wit and charm.

One particular fan seized the opportunity to shoot his shot, asking the 'Pushpa' actress a rather forward question: "Thoda jaldi puch leta hu - Will you be my valentine for the next 400-500 years...".

Mandanna, known for her playful interactions with fans, responded with a touch of humor and a hint of optimism. "If after these 100 years if we are alive in the same lifetime then why not (red heart emoji) (sic)," she replied.

The actress also addressed other questions during the session. One user inquired about her experience shooting for the movie "The Girlfriend". Rashmika revealed that working on the film was mentally exhausting, requiring her to tap into "really really deep and raw" emotions. Despite the challenges, she expressed admiration for director Rahul Ravindran, stating, "can't believe you've made a film like 'The Girlfriend'... The emotional depth you have, the niceness that you have in your heart flows through every frame".

Mandanna further shared that through "The Girlfriend," she found in Rahul not only a director but also "a friend, a mentor, a partner in crime for a lifetime who I trust wholly and immensely".

"The Girlfriend," directed and written by Rahul Ravindran, features music by Hesham Abdul Wahab and cinematography by Krishnan Vasant. The film is expected to be released in cinemas on November 7.

Rashmika's interaction with her fans, particularly her response to the Valentine's Day proposal, quickly gained traction on social media, highlighting her popularity and the close bond she shares with her admirers. Her willingness to engage in lighthearted banter and share personal reflections has solidified her image as not only a talented actress but also an approachable and relatable personality.
