My first love was at 17: Raashi Khanna

Varun Tej-Raashi Khanna starrer

Tholi Prema

is all set to hit the silver screens tomorrow. Directed by Venky Atluri, there are high expectations around the film as two decades earlier, it was a film by the same name which had catapulted Pawan Kalyan to super stardom. Keerthy Reddy had played the female lead in that film and her introduction scene is still considered one of the finest in the annals of Tollywood.

Speaking during the promotions for the film Raashi said she was aware of that iconic scene but said that the new Tholi Prema would bear no resemblance to the original. Tholi Prema in Telugu means ‘First love’, so is there a first love in her life? “I was 17 when my senior proposed to me. He gave me a letter and a rose,” said Raashi coyly but hastened to add, “I am not in touch with him anymore. It was just infatuation.” Incidentally, Raashi will be seen in three different get-ups in the film: one during a college episode, one in London and one back again in India. Her bespectacled picture from the film has attracted quite a lot of attention on social media with fans terming her the ‘Indian Harry Potter’ and ‘Sister of Harry Potter’ much to her amusement.
