Responding to this, Rashmika revealed, “I haven’t even become a mother yet, but I already feel it. I know I’ll have children, and I’m happy that it’s going to happen. But I already feel deeply for these little humans who haven’t even been born yet.” The actress added that she wants to protect her future children at any cost, saying, “I want to do everything for them. I want to keep them safe and protected. And if I have to go to war for them, I have to be completely fit to do it. I’m already thinking about it.”

Rashmika believes in balancing ambition with emotional fulfillment. She explained, “I’ve always believed that the age of 20 to 30 is the time to focus on work. We need to earn a living and have our own money. From 30 to 40, it’s about finding a balance between work and life. After 40, I haven’t thought that far ahead yet.” Her disciplined approach reflects why Rashmika continues to shine in the Indian film industry, juggling major film projects across Telugu, Tamil, and Hindi cinema.
