New Delhi: Rashmika Mandanna starrer 'GoodBye' was released in theatres on Friday. The actress has been receiving a lot of appreciation for her performance in the film. Amitabh Bachchan, Neena Gupta, Pavail Gulati and Sunil Grover are also part of the film. Recently, the actress opened up about her family and how she had to draw a line between her family and her work life. The 'Pushpa' actress shared that her parents learnt it the 'hard way' that they have no control over her career.
In an interview with Bollywood Bubble, Rashmika shared, "There was a point where my mom thought that industry was something which we had control over. Whatever we want to do, we can do in the industry and she had to learn it the hard way that that wasn’t right. No matter what your family does, you’re an actor, you’re an artist, you’re the face so that will come on you.”
"Now we have figured that you are not from the industry so don’t involve yourself in the industry because you can’t take so much. You are from Coorg, we don’t have so much of a broad mind. You guys live your life, this is your life, don’t let this go. You live a comfortable, happy life. Let me do my thing because I am an artist. This is my life, my journey,” she added.
Rashmika Mandanna shared that there were a few struggles in trying to balance it all that came down to the fact that it was better if her parents did not involve themselves in her work affairs. "Now we have figured that you are not from the industry so don’t involve yourself in the industry because you can’t take so much. You are from Coorg, we don’t have so much of a broad mind. You guys live your life, this is your life, don’t let this go. You live a comfortable, happy life. Let me do my thing because I am an artist. This is my life, my journey,” she added.
Rashmika shared that she had to gradually make her parents understand that they could not control her life in the business. "Let me make my own choices, don’t try to control my life because the world is not the way you think it is. It’s so much bigger, so much harder. So I had to give that lesson being a daughter, and being an artist.”
The 'Pushpa' actress added that her family lives in a small community in Coorg and because of having lived a sheltered life were not really ready for the harsh realities of show business.
Rashmika Mandanna will next be seen in 'Animal' alongside Ranbir Kapoor.
