Rashmika Mandanna sleeps only four hours a day, much to her doctorās alarm. She regrets the birthdays and family moments work has taken her away from, including time with her 14-year-old sister. There are boundaries she has finally decided are hersāholding onto twenty minutes with her parents, an hour at the gym and time with the people who keep her tethered to a life beyond the machinery of her profession. āThings can wait. Itās fine. Iām working hard enough.ā
Crocodiles hang from the sky and ships drift through hand-painted cloudsāa familiar frame for Rashmika Mandanna whose love for anime, as she says, has helped her understand the nuances of expression as an actor. The obsession turns up at work as often as it does in her watch history.

At home in Hyderabad with Vijay and his brother Anand, she describes herself as low maintenance. Vijay, she adds, would agree.

North Indians say my accent is from the south.ā Her mother tongue is Kodava, her inner dialogue runs in English and she has stopped treating the contradiction as something that needs fixing.
