Mumbai: Kodagu native and actor Rashmika Mandanna has praised the Atal Bihari Vajpayee Sewri-Nhava Sheva Atal Setu, inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in January, calling it a game-changer for Mumbai's transportation network.
In an interview with ANI, she lauded the infrastructure development, saying, "The journey of two hours can be done in 20 minutes. As in, you wouldn't even believe it! Who would have thought that something like this would have been possible. From Navi Mumbai to Mumbai and Goa to Mumbai and Bengaluru to Mumbai, when all the journeys have been made so easily and with such amazing infrastructure! It makes me proud."
According to a report published in HT, speaking about India's progress, Rashmika expressed her admiration for the country's growth, especially in the last decade. She highlighted the remarkable infrastructure development and road planning, emphasizing that India is now on the move. "I think now, at least, India is not stopping anywhere. Now look at the country's growth. It's freaking brilliant in the last 10 years how the country has grown. The infrastructure, the plan in our country, the road planning, everything, it is just brilliant - I think now it's our time! I just got to know that it's all done in seven years and it's 20 km. It's amazing! Look at it. I am speechless honestly... India is the smartest country, I would like to say!"
Rashmika also praised the youth of India for their rapid growth, noting that they are becoming more responsible and less influenced by external factors. She expressed her optimism about the country's direction, stating, "young India is growing at such fast speed. The youth is being 'very responsible' now and is 'not getting influenced by whatever you say'. People are actually seeing, people are being very responsible and the country is 'headed in the right way'".
Currently, Rashmika is preparing for the release of Pushpa 2: The Rule, where she stars alongside Allu Arjun. She was last seen with Ranbir Kapoor in the 2023 blockbuster Animal.
