A recently viral video of actress Sai Pallavi shows her speaking in broken Hindi and she even admits that she cannot speak the language properly. This happened during a promotional event for her upcoming movie titled Ek Din and it has quickly become a big topic of discussion for everyone.
This situation has sparked a massive debate because she is set to play the sacred role of Maa Sita in the upcoming Ramayana film which is a part that definitely requires a strong command of the Hindi language
At the same time, many people are still upset about her past comments regarding the Indian Army. They feel that an actress with such controversial views should not be playing such a respected and holy character.
Even industry experts are now expressing their doubts about this casting choice. Many believe that the role of Sitaji required a fresh face or a much younger actress to bring a natural sense of purity to the screen. There is also a feeling that the makers have chosen a famous name from the South just to attract a larger audience instead of focusing on the best fit for the role.
There’s a huge pressure on the makers of Ramayana because Sai Pallavi’s weak Hindi speaking and those old controversies have made the audience very skeptical. It will be interesting to see how Sai Pallavi prepares for this character and if she can prove her trollers wrong, but for now, fans remain divided over whether she was truly the right choice for this epic project.
I’m a little worried now.♂️#SaiPallavi isn’t very consistent with her Hindi pronunciation.#EkDin is likely to be a box office washout anyway, but in #Ramayana, she’s playing Maa Sita?
Hopefully, she surprises us all when we watch Ramayana this Diwali. pic.twitter.com/7kekgPoiXF
