Rashmika will be next seen in Goodbye, a family comedy-drama film that sees her character Tara coping with the death of her mother. Rashmika has shared in her interviews that she thought about her own family when she had to cry during the scenes in the film. Asked if being away from her family has been difficult for her in real life, Rashmika opened up about missing her younger sister.
She told Bollywood Bubble, “I’m already feeling a little sad that I don’t get to stay with them or see them growing up. Seeing your parents also grow up is something…like I’ve seen my mum since she was 17-18 and now she’s 40-42…You’ve seen them grow up and I have a little sister who’s like 8-years-old. I’m like I don’t get to see the growing up, I just get to see the grown-up. I miss it a lot, but I’m a person who’s receiving so much love from everyone out there and I feel equally responsible for them. So this is the sacrifice my family has made for the people out there.”
