South Indian actress Sai Pallavi, soon to be seen as Sita in Nitesh Tiwari’s highly anticipated “Ramayana” alongside Ranbir Kapoor and Yash, is under fire after a controversial video from 2022 resurfaced. In the video, Sai Pallavi was reportedly heard discussing how people in Pakistan perceive the Indian Army, sparking a debate among fans and netizens.
The clip, originally from an interview given by Sai Pallavi in January 2022, shows her commenting on the differing perceptions of the Indian Army across borders. She is heard saying that while Pakistanis view the Indian Army as a “terrorist group,” Indians see their forces differently. This statement has drawn criticism, with many accusing the actress of misunderstanding the Indian Army’s role and responsibilities.
Fans Express Displeasure, Question Patriotism
The actress’s comments have angered fans and social media users alike. One user on X (formerly Twitter) wrote, “Has India ever attacked any country to be called a terrorist? Our Army only defends us, then why say such things?” The post has since gained traction as more users shared their disappointment over her statements.
Other social media users have questioned Sai Pallavi’s views, suggesting she lacks understanding of the Indian Army’s dedication to protecting the nation. Another user tweeted, “If you have the courage, tell us where the Indian Army has hurt innocents in Pakistan! The Army defends us, it doesn’t attack civilians.”
Sai Pallavi’s Role in ‘Ramayana’ Draws Mixed Reactions Amid Controversy
Adding fuel to the debate, some fans are also questioning her role as Sita in “Ramayana.” One comment read, “It’s sad that someone with such views is playing the revered role of Sita Maa.” This has led to a heated discussion online, with some fans feeling disappointed over the casting.
Despite the backlash, “Ramayana” remains a much-awaited film, with Ranbir Kapoor as Ram and Yash as Ravan. Fans eagerly await the film’s release but are divided over Sai Pallavi’s recent statements.
