Rashmika Mandanna said, “Every journey begins with an opportunity and the courage to take that first step. When I look back at my own journey, I know how much it takes to keep believing in yourself, working hard and saying yes to possibilities that can take you somewhere you may never have imagined. Honestly, I think this is a first-of-its-kind opportunity in India, and I’m incredibly excited to be partnering with HYBE INDIA on this journey. HYBE is a name known across the world for creating some of the biggest artists and global voices, and the fact that they are looking to India to discover young talent is really exciting. There are so many young girls across the country who dream of becoming artists, performers and role models, and I hope they make the most of this opportunity. I hope every girl who has a dream gives herself that chance”
