‘Connecting people’
In the video she shared, she praises the bridge for cutting short an hours-long journey into mere minutes. Sharing it, she wrote, “South India to North India… West India to East India… Connecting people, connecting hearts! #MyIndia.” PM Modi reshared her post, stating that there was ‘nothing more satisfying’ than connecting people, writing, “Absolutely! Nothing more satisfying than connecting people and improving lives.” Rashmika seemed overwhelmed as she responded to the PM, stating that it was an ‘honour’ to witness the country’s growth, writing, “Sir! What an honor! It's incredibly fulfilling to witness our country's growth as a super proud young Indian.”
‘It’s freaking brilliant’
While shooting for the video, Rashmika spoke to ANI and shared a similar sentiment. She said, “I think now, at least, India is not stopping anywhere. Now look at the country's growth. It's freaking brilliant in the last 10 years how the country has grown. The infrastructure, the plan in our country, the road planning, everything, it is just brilliant - I think now it's our time! I just got to know that it's all done in seven years and it's 20 km. It's amazing! Look at it. I am speechless honestly... India is the smartest country, I would like to say!”
