What a journey! From Madras Cafe to ruling South cinema - Raashii proves talent shines through language barriers. Her performance in Tholi Prema made me cry buckets! Wishing her more success in Telusu Kada 🤗

Respect for actors who work across industries without making it about 'pan-India' hype. Raashii quietly delivers good performances whether it's Tamil, Telugu or Hindi projects. More power to her!

Honestly feel she's underrated in Bollywood. After Madras Cafe, she should've gotten more Hindi films. But glad she found her space down South. That dialogue delivery in Farzi was 🔥

As someone who followed her journey from Oohalu Gusagusalade, I'm so proud! She brings such grace to every role. Though I wish she'd do more strong female leads rather than just romantic ones sometimes.

"Picture abhi baaki hai" - love how she used this iconic dialogue! Shows she's truly a student of Indian cinema across languages. Excited for her new film with Siddu - their chemistry in Prati Roju Pandage was amazing!

While I admire her work, I hope she gets more challenging roles soon. After 11 years, it's time to move beyond the 'pretty girl next door' image. She has potential to be the next Tabu if given the right scripts!
