That is something that keeps me grounded and connected to my roots.” Additionally, Rashmika credited her family and friends for keeping her humble. “They’re the right kind of people in my life, all of whom believe in being grounded... so that also plays a very important part and really helps, you know? Surrounded by such people, I can say I’m in a good space right now!”
