So wholesome to see real friendships in Bollywood! Most celebrity friendships seem so fake for PR. Raashii and Vaani's bond is genuine ❤️ Love how they supported each other's careers. More power to them!

Interesting how Delhi girls are making waves in South films too! Raashii's journey from Delhi to Madras Cafe to Telugu cinema is inspiring. Shows talent has no regional boundaries.

Kale chane ka pulao on Farah's show? 😂 Only Raashii could pull this off! Love her down-to-earth personality. She's proof you don't need to be a Page 3 socialite to succeed in films.

Respectfully, I feel the article focuses too much on the Mumbai vs Delhi angle. Raashii's real achievement is her pan-India appeal - from Hindi to Telugu to Tamil cinema. That's the real story here.

As someone from Delhi, I'm so proud of Raashii! She represents the new generation of actors who are breaking stereotypes. Front bencher to film star - what a journey! ✨

Their friendship reminds me of my college days when we used to support each other's dreams. In the cut-throat film industry, such genuine bonds are rare. Wishing both ladies continued success!
