Rashmika Mandanna Wants To Raise Awareness On Drug Abuse By The Youth

Rashmika Mandanna first heard about drug abuse when she first moved to Bengaluru to pursue a graduate course. She used to hear stories of people using recreational drugs to get an instant high and sometimes. Her friends used to narrate personal experiences of how they used drugs to beat stress.

“Somehow, in those early years of your life, the use of drugs seems to have s cool tag attached to it which it obviously isn’t,” says the actor. And the actress eagerly wants to be part of an event in Mangaluru that aimed at raising awareness on drug abuse. “Many do it to escape reality and beat the effects of stress. It’s human to be flawed but greatness lies in embracing it; not escaping it,” she points out.

Rashmika shares an experience and said, “I recently had about of my face breaking out and it did the rounds on social media. Of course, it did bother me when much was made out of it, but then I realised it’s okay to be flawed. I’m not perfect and I won’t hide it. Likewise, if the youth learn to embrace reality than seek refuge in alcohol or drugs to live in denial, it’d contribute to curb the problem”.
