Opening up about her personality beyond the screen, rakul describes herself as a tomboy at heart—clumsy, makeup-averse, and happiest in her most casual space with close friends and family. At the same time, she resonates with a balance of modernity and tradition, much like The Leela brand she recently collaborated with. She says indian values—like respect for people and commitment to work—continue to ground her even as she embraces a contemporary lifestyle. Her recent experience at The Leela Chennai, she adds, was seamless and memorable, with the team’s warmth and hospitality making the shoot feel effortless and fun.
Reflecting on her journey, rakul says she wouldn’t change a thing about her past, as every decision has shaped her path beautifully. Her advice to her younger self would simply be to keep going with the same passion. As for the future, she doesn’t see it as a “next chapter” but as a continuous journey filled with exciting projects that will soon be announced. Personally, she feels she’s in a deeply content and grateful space, ready to embrace whatever life brings next.
