Come, Fall In Love With Rukmini

March 01, 2024 12:33 IST

In Rukmini Vasanth's smile, you can see something more beautiful than the stars. 

The Kannada actor is proof that a wide, warm, happy grin is the best make up a woman can wear. 

That smile is also the best gift she can give her incredible parents.

Her father, Colonel Vasanth Venugopal, was martyred in 2007 at Uri, fighting off armed infiltrators from across the border.

Her mother, Subhashini Vasanth, who is a Bharatanatyam exponent, helps war widows though her foundation.

It is these two bravehearts who are Rukmini's backbone.

The actor, who debuted in 2019, last stepped into the big screen with 2023's Sapta Sagaradaache Ello. She will be soon seen Bagheera, Bhairathi Ranagal (both Kannada), VJS 5, SK23 (both Tamil) and Keeravani.

This lovely leading lady has been championing her passion for traditional drapes while giving it her fun, playful spin. 

You can always turn to her for some style inspiration on how to wear a sari to work, for a party and even to brunch with your friends.
