Mumbai, May 20: Actress Rashmika Mandanna stole the limelight as she graced the red carpet at the prestigious Zee Cine Awards 2025, making a stunning comeback in an elegant black fusion saree that left fans mesmerised.
Known for her infectious charm and versatile performances, the 'Animal' star dazzled in a contemporary black saree featuring a deep sweetheart neckline and a sheer net waist design. She paired the look with minimal yet chic golden heart-shaped earrings, complemented by brown-toned makeup. With her hair left open in a centre-parted style, Rashmika embodied effortless grace.
