Mahesh Babu, Ram in Raashi Khanna’s heart

After hits like Jil, Bengal Tiger and Supreme, Raashi Khanna is a star to reckon with in Tollywood.  The damsel of Punjabi origin has made Hyderabad her hometown now.  A thorough, health-conscious foodie (Lebanese cuisine is of immense liking to her), Raashi is a music-lover who can’t stop humming.  'Guvva Gorinkatho, Zara Zara (from Rehna Hain Tere Dil Mein), Em Sandeham Ledhu (Oohalu Gusagusalade) are among my most favourite numbers,' says the diva, adding that Bommarillu and Khoobsurat (Hindi) are among her favourite films.

As a student and youngster, she loved English language and wanted to become an IAS officer.  As destiny would have it, she went on to shine on the silver screen.  'When I received my first academic award, it was a great moment,' she avers.  How is she finding Hyderabad?  'I am totally loving it.  N Grill is my favourite eatery,' she reveals.

Saying that it’s her parents’ love story which is dear to her, Raashi counts the dinner scene between herself and Srinivas Avasarala in Oohalu Gusagusalade among her most beloved scenes.   Mahesh Babu is her favourite hero, while Ram (her Hyper co-star) is her favourite co-star.  South Sapanish vacation sport is her most favourite.
