Rashmika Mandanna starrer The Girlfriend officially hit the theatres with positive reviews from the audience. Following the release, the actress shared a very personal message on her social media, capturing the essence of the film, which is a celebration of love, bravery, and self-discovery.

The latest film was one of her most emotionally charged performances to date. The actress took to her Instagram Story and wrote, “A love letter to all the girlies growing into the woman they love. To every girl who was told ‘what do you know’... and yet grew into a woman ‘who knows what she wants’.”

The actress added, “You've come a long way, give yourself that proud, tight hug.
 And to the men who've loved, not by leading, but by standing beside... your love gave her the courage to find her voice. This film is for every unspoken moment — for the love that liberates, not limits, for the hearts that heal while learning to choose themselves,
and for the courage it takes to begin again, as your truest self.”

Rashmika continued, “I've poured my heart, my sensibilities, and every vulnerability into this The GirlFriend journey,
 for you to feel seen, understood, and reminded of your own strength.
 If it makes you hold your life closer and fall in love with yourself again, my purpose is fulfilled.”

“A love letter to every journey from silence to strength... and to those who stood by, in love and in respect.
 #TheGirlFriend is now in theatres. It's all yours… Come experience the journey of love, courage, and becoming,” she concluded.

With this poignant note, Rashmika presents The Girlfriend as a film experience as well as a celebration of womanhood, a tale of tenacity, self-determination, and the beauty of self-discovery.
