Rashmika Mandanna speaks about 'Anime'
"That was that one year in my schooling that I was a day boarder," rashmika recalls while discussing her initial exposure to the genre. I used to have no neighborhood buddies with whom to play when I got home. I thus recall returning to my room and watching TV. The actor from "Animal" revealed that she used to love watching Pokémon and Dragon Ball Z.
"I discovered Animax while switching the channel, and they were watching "Naruto." I was originally introduced to anime through Naruto. Cut to me watching what I believe was season 1 on tv before they ended.

It is about Naruto Uzumaki, a teenage ninja who aspires to be the Hokage, the head of his village, and wants to be recognized by his peers.
"I was around 12 or 13 years old when I first got close to anime," she said when asked how old she was when her anime tryst started.
The actress disclosed that she has viewed more than "40" anime series and more than "25-30 episodes" in a single sitting.
