After an old interview clip surfaced, actress Sai Pallavi, who plays Sita in Nitesh Tiwari’s much awaited “Ramayana” adaption, became the subject of criticism. Pallavi talks about how the Indian army is seen in Pakistan in the now-viral video, claiming that many people there consider it to be a “terrorist group.”
What Sai Pallavi stated in a long-gone, widely shared video
In the tape, which was first shot in January 2022, Pallavi shares her opinion that a person’s country identity can have a big impact on how they view violence. “People in Pakistan believe our army is a terrorist organization,” she is reported as adding. But it’s them for us. Thus, the viewpoint shifts. Violence is beyond my comprehension.
Netizens react
Social media users have harshly criticized her statement, with many expressing their indignation over her word choice.
A user made the mocking comment, “Historian Sai Pallavi is back! What a fantastic idea to liken the genocide against the Hindus of Kashmir to the smuggling of cattle. She’s been cast as Mata Sita now? Bollywood casting is exploding. Not in a nice manner, though! If things continue this way, they will just have their PR team as an audience.
“So sad that this Communist Sai Pallavi is portraying Sita Ma in the Ramayana,” another person wrote.
Another person commented, “Sai Pallavi: The Indian Army and the Pakistan Army are the same.” In an upcoming Bollywood film, she is portraying Mata Sita. She once likened the lynching of cattle traffickers to the genocide of Kashmiri Hindus. She appears to be heavily influenced by Zakir Naik. Avoid seeing any films that feature her.
Regarding Sai Pallavi’s Ramayana and Ranbir Kapoor
Pallavi and Ranbir Kapoor will be working together for the first time in the upcoming film “Ramayana.” Particularly with KGF star Yash playing Ravana and Sunny Deol supposedly playing Lord Hanuman, the movie has created a lot of excitement. In addition, many fans are excitedly awaiting Sai Pallavi’s Bollywood debut, which this production marks.
Pallavi is getting ready for the release of her Tamil film “Amaran,” which was directed by Rajkumar Periasamy, in addition to her role in “Ramayana.” ‘India’s Most Fearless: True Stories of Modern Military’ by Shiv Aroor and Rahul Singh is adapted into this film, which is produced by the well-known Kamal Haasan. Pallavi and Sivakarthikeyan co-star in “Amaran,” which is slated to hit theaters on October 31.
