Chennai, Nov 26 (NationPress) The talented actress Rukmini Vasanth, known for her remarkable portrayal of queen Kanakavathi in director Rishab Shetty's acclaimed pan-Indian hit 'Kantara: Chapter 1', shares how her journaling practice provides her with valuable insight.
Discussing the significance of this habit, she reveals, “Journaling is my moment to pause and reflect. I frequently revisit my journals — they truly offer clarity. The concerns I had during my time with Birbal, or following drama school, seem vastly different from those I face now — yet they were equally impactful. It serves as a reminder that what feels daunting today might be laughable five years down the line.”
These writings, which capture various stages of her journey, serve as tiny time capsules that illustrate her growth and evolution, not just as an actress but as a person navigating through new experiences, acquiring knowledge, and embracing every change with poise. As she flips through the pages of her past, she often discovers subtle insights tucked between her thoughts — realizations she was unaware of at the moment. Many of these reflections also help her stay grounded in her instincts, something she treasures as a performer.
In fact, after the success of 'Kantara: Chapter 1', Rukmini shared intriguing clips and notes about her character development on her Instagram. She described her journey of “becoming Kanakavathi” and posted a series of clips, notes, and sketches made during her preparation for the role.
One behind-the-scenes clip showcased her learning to ride a horse, while a note highlighted the essential traits of Kanakavathi written around her name. Additionally, she shared sketches, including one of actor Jayaram in the role of the King.
Looking ahead, Rukmini Vasanth has two significant pan-Indian projects in the pipeline — 'Toxic: A Fairytale for Grownups' alongside Yash, directed by Geetu Mohandas, and the eagerly awaited #NTRNeel featuring NTR Jr, helmed by Prashanth Neel.
Rukmini’s journey is unfolding at a thrilling pace. In a fast-paced world, she has discovered a simple yet beautiful method to maintain her balance — one page, one thought, one intentional moment at a time.
