What people are saying
Sai Pallavi, she is a devotee. She is so devoted that she remembers Sita for five minutes whenever she gets a chance. We have seen her work on set.
Very devotional, God-loving, God-fearing. She talks about God. I am very happy that she is portraying Sita. She has that art. She has a good heart. Bless her. I request you all to give her love and bless her.
We all know Sai is such a brilliant actor. You know, she’s accomplished so much. The first day, I remember, when I saw her as Sita, I just looked at Nitesh sir, and we both just knew that we couldn’t have cast someone better than her.
