Recently, the grand pre-release event of Dhanush‘s anticipated film Om happened in Chennai. During his speech at the event, Dhanush voiced out against the criticisms surrounding Sai Pallavi’s portrayal of Sita in the pan-Indian film Ramayana.
Dhanush stated that there was a lot of noise surrounding her playing the role of Sita in Ramayana. He claimed that he doesn’t get why there is so much criticism against her.
Furthermore, he mentioned that Sai Pallavi even prays during the gaps between shots during shooting, she has so much devotion to God, she has a pure heart, she’s beautiful and is also a great performer. Hence, even if you search across the whole of India, you won’t find another Sita like her.
In response to these comments by Dhanush, some people feel that what Dhanush said is absolutely right and they suggested that he gave a slipper shot to the people who spread hatred against Sai Pallavi for acting as Sita in Ramayana.
Also, they note that this is what even her haters felt after watching Ramayana. They believe that even the people who criticized Sai Pallavi for playing Sita in Ramayana have arrived at the mindset that she is the perfect actress to play the character Sita after watching her performance in the film.
On the other hand, in contrast to this, others argue that Dhanush should not have spoken about these criticisms in front of her. They feel that, even if his comments were right, opening up about them in front of her at a public event might have made Sai Pallavi feel uncomfortable.
However, Dhanush’s comments on the criticisms surrounding Sai Pallavi for playing the role of Sita in Ramayana continue to go viral on social media and many people are sharing their responses to them.
