Recently, the actress opened up about the menace of bullying. Rasika said, "I feel situations of bullying are hard to identify and hence very difficult  to overcome. Very often people being bullied tend to internalise the problem. So it becomes even more important to talk about it. And it (bullying) can happen anywhere, to anyone, not just in boarding schools. Unfortunately, it's something very relatable, and the constant need to defend oneself and fight to be who you are is a terrible feeling… especially in ones formative and impressionable years. Hence, the empathy with Vedant's character."
