Raashii Khanna, in a new interview, opened up on sharing screen space with Sidharth Malhotra in Karan Johar’s upcoming production, Yodha.
After catching everyone’s eye in the Hindi belt with her performances in Ajay Devgn’s Rudra: The Edge Of Darkness and Shahid Kapoor starrer Farzi, Raashii Khanna is now gearing up for her next Hindi big screen outing, Yodha. Also starring Sidharth Malhotra and Disha Patani, the film helmed by Pushkar Ojha and Sagar Ambre is backed by Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions.
In an interview with Pinkvilla, the Tholi Prema actress opened up on this film. Calling it one of the most amazing characters that she has essayed on screen, Raashi said that she never thought that she would get a character of a ‘strong girl’ in a Dharma film.
While talking about her role in Yodha, she revealed, “It’s not that aayi, gaayi, chali gayi. Of course, there are songs, and Sid and I look amazing together. I remember we both were watching this (scene), and I was like, ‘Hum bahut ache lag rahein hai na saath mein’. He was also laughing, he said haan.”

She further continued, “When I was growing up, for me films were these glossy… saree pehni hai. Saree ka sapna pura nai hua mera abhi tak is Dharma film mein, but you know the other thing like you look pretty, and you just want to be happy, and woh sab tha gaanon mein. But otherwise, it is a very strong character that I play, so I think for me it was a very good balance. But I told Karan you have to give me a film where I am wearing a saree, where I am the typical Dharma heroine. But yea, I mean for me that is sort of an example where I can say that it’s not just for insiders anymore. Like you can make your way through.”
When asked about her take on the nepotism row, Raashii revealed that she was surprised when she was offered Yodha as she felt that mostly only insiders get a Dharma film. According to the actress, one should work on the opportunities that they have instead of focusing on the ones that didn’t come their way or on the negativity.
