The actress highlighted daily exercise, eating healthy among some of the factors that play a role in how she has been able to maintain her body.
On her journey into the movie industry, Rita made a funny reference to how her mother said she came into the world ‘lights, camera’ action’ ready.
The actress went on to explain that she developed an interest in acting around the age of five and participated in stage plays during her primary and secondary school days. Rita added that she also studied theatre arts at the university.
When asked how her parents who are both in the medical field reacted to her career choice, the actress said they have both been supportive. The actress said she recently discovered that her mother wanted to be a photographer but wasn’t allowed by her dad.
According to Rita, getting deprived of that career choice played a role in how her mother wholeheartedly supported her acting.
