A Few Of Rashmika Mandanna's Favourite Things

"Srivalli from the Pushpa franchise will always be close to my heart. There’s a quiet strength in her — bold yet rooted, spirited yet tender. In playing her, I discovered the power of stillness, the weight of unspoken emotions, and how vulnerability, when embraced fully, can be the most powerful form of strength. She helped me grow, both as an actor and as a person."

"I’d describe my style as playful with purpose. It’s a blend of comfort, confidence, and a lot of fun. Some days it’s oversized hoodies, other days it’s a kurta paired with barrel jeans. I dress based on how I feel, and I love adding small details that tell a story. For me, fashion is all about comfort, colour, and staying true to who you are and how you feel!"

"Cetaphil, always. My skin goes through so much with travel, makeup, and long shoot days — so I need something gentle, effective, and that cares for my skin. So it's perfect."

"Onitsuka Tiger! Their designs are bold, edgy, and super versatile. Whether I’m at the airport, on set, or just hanging with friends, they always add that cool, effortless vibe. Plus, they blend Japanese minimalism with street style in the most iconic way."

"Dear Diary was born from my real stories, those raw, unfiltered moments I once shared with all my well-wishers on social media. Over time, I realised something powerful, like scent, can capture emotion in a way words sometimes can’t. From the comforting fragrance of my mum’s perfume to the rich aroma of Coorg’s coffee estates, certain smells have stayed with me as markers of memory. That’s why I wanted to create something more than just a product; I wanted to create a feeling. Each perfume is like a diary entry, a page from my life, designed to evoke emotion and, hopefully, inspire yours."

"The Lollipop Collection. I love how the fresh, floral, and fruity notes instantly lift my mood, whether I’m off to a shoot or just enjoying a laid-back day. For me, fragrance isn’t just about smelling good; it’s about feeling something, creating a little moment for yourself."

"Beyond my Dear Diary perfume, I’m working on a bunch of projects that I can't wait for you to see, from Thama to The Girlfriend, Rainbow, Mysaa, and more. So much is coming your way, and I’m so excited for you to see it all!"

"Tokyo." There's fun, food, entertainment, culture, shopping and bright lights that make Tokyo in Japan the ultimate destination for folks seeking a plethora of experiences at one place. Bonus points if you visit during the Sakura season!

"Rameshwaram Cafe." An icon in it's league, Rameshwaram Cafe's dosa's are soaking is ghee, flavour and a taste you can't find anywhere else. If you ask us, go for the Garlic Roast Dosa and Ghee Podi Masala Dosa and finish off with their coffee.
