Rashmika shared the happy news with her fans in a lovely post. She treated her fans to the cover image of the magazine and wrote, "Gratitude." Rashmika's post was reshared by her Geetha Govindam co-star Vijay Deverakonda, who wrote, "So proud, from nowhere to everywhere. Keep growing and inspiring." The other two actresses making it to the list were Radhika Madana and Dot.
