Mumbai, June 20: Actress Raashii Khanna recently celebrated the 10th anniversary of her acting debut in Tollywood with the film ‘Oohalu Gusagusalade,’ which she fondly described as her “comfort film.”
Reflecting on her debut, Raashii expressed her gratitude, saying, “Completing ten years in the industry feels surreal. I didn’t know the language or the culture, but you embraced me like your own and kept giving me chances to prove my talent.”
Released in 2014, ‘Oohalu Gusagusalade’ is a romantic comedy directed by Srinivas Avasarala, also starring Naga Shaurya. The film, an adaptation of the 1897 French play ‘Cyrano de Bergerac’ by Edmond Rostand, centers around a young girl, Prabhavati, and two men, Venky and Uday, who love her.
Raashii thanked everyone who has supported her throughout her career. “I remember when we were shooting ‘Oohalu Gusagusalade’, I was naive and scared. Years later, it has become my comfort film, a reminder of where it all began. The film will always hold a special place in my heart as it was my first big hit,” she said.
She also acknowledged the significant impact Tollywood has had on her career. “My first brush with fandom happened because of Tollywood, and the love Telugu people have showered on me has been limitless. I’ll always be thankful for everything,” she added.
Currently, Raashii Khanna has several films in the works, including ‘The Sabarmati Report’ and ‘Talakhon Mein Ek.’ She also has a Telugu film, ‘Telusu Kada,’ in the pipeline.
