In January 2022, Sai Pallavi got into a mess during an interview while promoting a Telugu film. Discussing her role as a Naxal and her stance against violence, she remarked, “People in Pakistan think our army is a terrorist group. But for us, it is them. So, the perspective changes. I don’t understand violence.”
Her intent was to highlight differing national perspectives and her personal rejection of violence, not to equate the Indian Army with terrorists.

However, a clipped version of this interview resurfaced in October 2024, leading to accusations of her labeling the Indian Army as terrorists, fueling outrage on social media.
The controversy has now reignited again after the Pahalgam terror attack, which killed 27 civilians. The reports suggest that Pakistan is behind this attack.

Social media users began targeting Sai Pallavi, with posts demanding apologies and questioning her patriotism, especially given her upcoming role as Sita in Ramayana.
Hashtags like #BoycottSaiPallavi trended, with some calling her “anti-national” and others linking her comments to the attack. However, her fans countered, sharing the full interview to clarify her stance, arguing her words were misinterpreted.

Does she really deserve this kind of hate? Her 2022 comment wasn’t about supporting Pakistan or insulting the Indian Army. It was about how people from different sides view conflicts differently. And the timing of this renewed trolling—just as she rises in Bollywood—feels suspicious.
In fact, her film Amaran pays tribute to a real-life Indian Army hero. That alone should make it clear where she stands. Healthy criticism is one thing. But what Sai Pallavi is facing now? It feels more like a targeted campaign than justified outrage.
