Chennai, Aug 7
Actress Rukmini Vasanth on Friday recalled her graduation from London's Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts 10 years ago and penned a heartfelt note of gratitude in which she thanked all those with whom she had worked and all those who were cheering her in this journey of hers.
Taking to her Instagram page to share pictures of a reunion she attended, the actress wrote, "Ten years ago, I graduated from RADA. And last week, I was able to celebrate our reunion with so many of the wonderful people who set off on this journey with me."
She went on to say, "This milestone brought me so much joy and it also reminded me of the girl I was 10 years ago. She made a "risky" choice that set off so many dominoes and kickstarted the journey that brought me here, to this life that I'm so grateful to live. I feel such gratitude to that girl, who was scared and didn't even dream of this life but was brave enough to hope and take life one step at a time."
Rukmini ended the note saying, "I feel such gratitude also to all the people I have had the privilege of working with in all these years, and to all of you who are cheering me on and accompanying me on this journey. Here's to the next 10."
Rukmini Vasanth, whose work in Kantara: Chapter 1 came in for much critical acclaim, will next be seen in a pivotal role in director Geethu Mohandas's eagerly awaited action entertainer 'Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-Ups'.
For the unaware, the actress plays a character called Mellisa in the film. The makers had only recently released her character from the film.
Introduced as mystic, stylish, and elegant, Mellisa's striking reveal sparked enthusiastic reactions across social media.

Really admire her honesty and vulnerability. It's not easy to look back at your younger self and acknowledge the fear and uncertainty. This is what real growth looks like. Wishing her a successful career ahead. And Mellisa's reveal in Toxic looks absolutely intriguing! 🔥
As someone who studied abroad myself, I can totally relate to this post. The "risky" choice she mentioned is something many of us face. It's wonderful to see her celebrating this milestone with such grace. And kudos to her for making it big in the Indian film industry after training abroad—best of both worlds!
Lovely to see such genuine gratitude. It's not often that artists thank their journey and the people who supported them so openly. Also, her character Mellisa in Toxic has already created so much buzz—can't wait to see her shine again. Here's to your next 10, Rukmini! 🙌✨
RADA is such a prestigious institution, and to see an Indian actress thriving and carving her own path is genuinely motivating. I hope she continues to inspire many more young actors from India to push boundaries and follow their dreams. Respect for the hard work and dedication! 👏
Her note really touched me, especially the part about being brave enough to hope. It's such a relatable emotion, and she expressed it so beautifully. Also, her role in Kantara was so impactful, and now with Toxic, she's definitely on a roll. Wishing her all the best for everything ahead!
