Mornings, Minus the Drama

Forget 10-step skincare and smoothie bowls that require a food processor and a prayer. Rashmika’s AM mantra is keep it clean, keep it kind. “I start with almost a litre of water with a splash of apple cider vinegar," she shares. “It kickstarts my digestion and metabolism." Her skincare? “Gentle cleanser, moisturizer, sunscreen, done." Honestly, we’d love to bottle that simplicity. Oh wait—she sort of has. “If you’re curious for a peek into my world and favourite things…you might just catch all that in my latest collab with Crocs," she hints.
Fitness, But Make It Fun
Motivation isn’t a mountain to climb, it’s a dance floor to take over. “Even on lazy days, I try to do something—dancing to K-pop or a quick run on the treadmill," laughs Rashmika. “The key is to not make it feel like a chore." Her secret weapon? Her Crocs. “They’re my happy feet shoes. Just wearing them puts me in the mood to move."
Crocs and the Art of Being Unapologetically You
Becoming the face of Crocs India was no brand deal—it was a natural evolution. “Crocs is all about comfort, individuality, and expression. That’s exactly how I see my own journey," she says. With iconic clogs and Jibbitz charms, Rashmika gets to wear her personality—literally. “I love that I can personalize my Crocs to reflect my mood or even a bit of quirkiness—just like I bring my own touch to every role I play."
Fridge Files: Fruits Up Front, Chocolate in Hiding
Curious what powers that glowing skin? “Fruits, especially berries, papaya, and raw mango!" she says. But behind the berries hides a not-so-secret indulgence: “Chocolate. There’s always something sweet tucked away for late-night cravings." (Stars—they really are just like us.)
From Coorg to the Camera
Food isn’t just fuel for Rashmika, it’s home, heritage, and heart. “Growing up in Coorg, our meals were everything," she recalls. “Even now, pandi curry takes me straight back to my childhood kitchen." On set, though, she’s learned to strike a balance. “Eat clean, but don’t punish yourself for indulging. Food should make you happy, na?"
Balance in the Age of Burnout
With a packed calendar and public life, how does she keep it all together? Her answer is gloriously human. “Balance isn’t about perfection, it’s knowing what you need in that moment." Whether it’s hitting the gym, sleeping in, or chasing ice cream in her Crocs, Rashmika leans into self-care that feels like her. “They’re fuss-free, comfy, and the Jibbitz are these tiny reminders of fun and self-love."
In a world of curated chaos, Rashmika’s version of wellness is a breath of fresh air—one that comes with chocolate, cheat days, and charmingly bejeweled shoes. And honestly? That’s the kind of lifestyle we could all get behind.
