Lakshmi Manchu, a notable actress in the Telugu film industry and daughter of veteran actor Mohan Babu, recently shared insights about her career journey and friendships within the industry. She highlighted how her relationships with fellow actors Ram Charan and Rana Daggubati provided crucial support when she moved to Mumbai.
During an interview with Siddharth Kannan, Lakshmi Manchu revealed that during her initial days in Mumbai, she stayed at the house of her best friend Rakul Preet Singh.

When Lakshmi first moved to Mumbai, she encountered housing challenges. She shared how Ram Charan came to her rescue by offering his house for her to stay in. Lakshmi mentioned, "At that time, Ram Charan helped me. I didn't tell anyone because if people knew I was staying at his house, they might not offer me work. I also asked Charan to keep it confidential."
