Actress Rashmika Mandanna, known for her busy schedule shuttling between Mumbai and Hyderabad, is singing the praises of India's newest infrastructural marvel: the Atal Setu. Inaugurated in January by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, this 22 km sea link bridge connects Mumbai to Navi Mumbai, drastically reducing travel time.
"The journey that used to take two hours can now be done in 20 minutes!" exclaimed an enthusiastic Rashmika. "Who would have thought something like this was possible? Travel from Navi Mumbai to Mumbai, Goa to Mumbai, even Bangalore to Mumbai – it's all been made so effortless."
Beyond the convenience, Rashmika sees the bridge as a symbol of India's progress. "The infrastructure, the planning, it's brilliant!" she remarked. "India is not stopping anymore. We are not willing to accept limitations. It's our time to shine!"
With the 2024 Lok Sabha Elections underway, Rashmika urged the younger generation to exercise their right to vote responsibly. "Young India is incredibly smart and growing at an incredible pace," she stated. "They're not easily swayed anymore. They're observant, responsible, and making informed decisions. I believe they're heading in the right direction."
The actress recently confirmed her involvement in "Sikandar", an action film starring Salman Khan and directed by A.R. Murugadoss, expressing gratitude for the opportunity to be part of the project.
