Vanditha Puneeth Rajkumar Steals The Show Again - Appu’s Little Girl Is Not So Little Anymore

Days after making waves with her appearance at the grand release of Ekka, Vanditha Puneeth Rajkumar, daughter of late Sandalwood superstar Puneeth Rajkumar, once again stole the limelight-this time at the film's success meet.

The Ekka team met the press on Wednesday evening to express gratitude for the overwhelming support. Produced by Vanditha's mother, Ashwini Puneeth Rajkumar, the event saw her presence along with other members of the Rajkumar family.

But it was 14-year-old Vanditha who caught the media's eye. Dressed simply and wearing her trademark bright smile, she effortlessly became the centre of attention. Her calm, graceful presence reminded many of her father, whose humble nature and warm personality had won countless hearts.

During the event, Vanditha was also seen sharing a light moment with Mangala Raghavendra Rajkumar, mother of Yuva Rajkumar, clicking selfies together-adding a touch of familial warmth to the gathering.

Ashwini and Puneeth Rajkumar have two daughters-Drithi (16) and Vanditha (14).

The film Ekka, starring Yuva Rajkumar, released last Friday amid massive expectations. On July 18, Vanditha, Ashwini, and other family members visited a theatre on Kempe Gowda Road in Bengaluru to watch the film with fans.

Speaking at the success event, actor Raghavendra Rajkumar shared an emotional note:

"I wouldn't say this is my son's hit movie, but that he has been part of a successful one. I wholeheartedly thank producers Jayanna and Bhogendra for joining hands with Ashwini. It feels as though my mother has produced this film. She produced movies for my father, my brothers, for me, and even my elder son-but never for my younger son Yuva. Ashwini has fulfilled that dream. It feels like my mother's blessings are with us through this project."

With Ekka receiving a warm response and the Rajkumar family's legacy continuing strong, the event turned into more than just a celebration of box office numbers-it became a tribute to heritage, love, and cinema.
