On the other hand, Rashmika Mandanna also wrote a heartwarming message for all the beautiful women out there.

Highlighting that every day should belong to women, Rashmika wrote, 'To the women who dream big, to the women who work extremely hard but your wins are not always celebrated, to those who quietly hold everything together, who are still figuring life out, and to the women who smile even on the days when it's hard and you just want to give up but you say to yourself this too shall pass. I see you. And I am so proud of you.'

The 'Animal' actor reminded women of being capable to rise again as she added, 'You are enough Exactly as you are. Your kindness, your courage, your laughter, your tears every part of you is beautiful. It's not being too much to handle or over dramatic. Your achievements are as big as anyone else's. Your decisions matter. Your opinions matter. Your feelings matter. YOU MATTER.'

The actress concluded by sending her 'biggest love' to all the incredible women.

International Women's Day, observed globally on March 8, celebrates the achievements, leadership, and contributions of women across all spheres of life and reaffirms the collective commitment to gender equality, safety, dignity, and empowerment. (ANI)
