“An absolute dream to be part of #Toxic. Grateful for this journey and the vision behind it (teary-eyed and folded hands emojis),” wrote Rukmini on X while sharing Yash’s post. “She doesn’t just perform, she processes. She asks questions not out of doubt, but out of curiosity. It pushed me to think deeper… she’s constantly building her own inner world. I find her approach incredibly thoughtful,” Geetu said about Rukmini in a statement.
