Touching upon the portrayal of women in cinema, Rukmini addressed issues such as eve-teasing and the frequent oversexualisation of female characters. She emphasised that it’s not just about one problematic scene, but rather about how women are depicted across the narrative. “It’s about the larger picture,” she noted, highlighting the need for more nuanced and respectful storytelling. The actor also shared her thoughts on collaborating with industry heavyweights like Yash and Rishab Shetty in films such as 'Toxic' and 'Kantara', describing the experience as creatively fulfilling and inspiring.
