Rashmika Mandanna's New Year wish: Let's all start the new year with love, gratitude
Mumbai, Jan 2
Actress Rashmika Mandanna rang in the New Year with a heartfelt message for her "lovelies", urging everyone to begin 2026 with love and gratitude.
Rashmika took to her Instagram stories, where she shared a picture of herself. In the image, the actress is seen sitting inside a vehicle, smiling warmly at the camera. She is wearing large, black-framed glasses and a sweater.
For the caption, she wrote: "Happiesttttt new year my loveliesssss!! I know I am late but just wanted to say let's all start the new year with love and gratitudeeeee!! I love you all so so much."
The actress is currently on a Roman holiday with beau Vijay Deverakonda. She had shared a string of glimpses from her getaway in Rome. In some images, Vijay's actor brother Anand Deverakonda could be seen.
She simply captioned the post, "Rome so far.."
Work-wise, Rashmika will next be seen in the forthcoming pan-India film "Mysaa". She also has "Cocktail 2".
Last year, the actress was seen in five films such as Chhaava, Sikandar, Kuberaa, Thamaa and The Girlfriend.
Chhaava is an epic historical action film based on the life of Sambhaji, the second ruler of the Maratha Empire, who is played by Vicky Kaushal. Sikandar, starring Salman Khan, was directed by A. R. Murugadoss.
The film follows Sanjay "Sikandar" Rajkot, who is motivated by a tragic accident to redeem his past by changing the lives of three people and finds himself targeted by a vengeful politician.
The romantic comedy horror "Thamma" was directed by Aditya Sarpotdar. It is the fifth installment in the Maddock Horror Comedy Universe. It stars Ayushmann Khurrana, Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Paresh Rawal. The film follows a journalist who, after encountering a mysterious woman, turns into a vampiric creature called Betal and must save humanity from the bloodlust of an ancient sect.
Meanwhile, The Girlfriend, which is directed by Rahul Ravindran, told the story of a young woman, who explores love, compatibility and self-discovery during college, experiencing relationship complexities and personal growth.

Love and gratitude is a great way to start any year. But honestly, as a fan, I'm more excited about her lineup! 'Cocktail 2'? After all these years? That's the real news for me. Hope it lives up to the original.
Rome looks amazing! Good for her, taking a break. The work pressure in the film industry, especially with back-to-back pan-India films, must be insane. A little holiday with family (and Anand Deverakonda spotted too!) is well-deserved.
Respectfully, while the message is nice, it feels a bit generic coming from a celebrity on a luxury European holiday. Maybe actions showcasing that love and gratitude towards fans or social causes back home would resonate more? Just a thought.
Her film choices are so diverse! From historical epic 'Chhaava' with Vicky Kaushal to a horror comedy 'Thamma'. That's what I admire. She's not sticking to one safe zone. All the best for 2026, Rashmika!
The picture in the car with the glasses is so cute and relatable! Sometimes the most simple posts are the best. Wishing her a year full of success and good health. Onwards and upwards! ✨
