The buzz around the much-anticipated Ramayana film took an unexpected turn after the official announcement of Sai Pallavi as Sita. While Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram and Yash as Ravana were largely welcomed with enthusiasm, Sai Pallavi’s casting has stirred mixed reactions, especially from certain sections of Bollywood media and Northern YouTube commentators.

Critics quickly jumped in, calling Sai Pallavi an “unconventional” choice for the divine role of Sita. Online spaces were flooded with memes, snide remarks, and harsh comparisons. Some trolls even questioned why Ravana — played by Yash — would desire Sita when his wife Mandodari is being portrayed by Kajal Aggarwal, with Rakul Preet as Surpanakha. The debate took a personal turn as some users dragged in Sai Pallavi’s past comments on sensitive topics like cow-related violence.

However, her fans have come to her defense, asserting that Sita is not about glamor — it’s about grace, substance, and strength. Sai Pallavi, known for her natural screen presence and raw emotional performances, has never relied on glam or bold roles to make a mark. For her supporters, that’s exactly what makes her ideal for the role.

Ultimately, the conversation boils down to a timeless debate in cinema: talent versus appearance. And many argue that Sai Pallavi’s acting prowess, emotional depth, and authenticity make her a worthy choice to portray one of the most revered characters in Indian mythology.

While the online trolling may continue, it’s the performance that will speak loudest once Ramayana hits the big screen — and if Sai Pallavi delivers, her critics may have to rethink their stance.
