Sai Pallavi had an emotional moment on the sets of Ramayana. She recalled how her dialect coach once touched her feet after watching a scene. The gesture caught her off guard and brought her to tears.
Speaking about the incident in a conversation, Sai Pallavi said her coach knew her as Sai Pallavi and had seen her making phone calls and getting ready on the sets. But after watching her portray Sita, the coach approached her differently.
The incident made Sai realise how deeply people connect with Sita. She said she started crying after seeing her coach’s reaction.
Sai Pallavi also spoke about how she approached the role. Usually, she thinks about what she can bring to a character. But with Sita, she wanted to understand what she could learn from playing her. She also said she prayed to Sita before beginning the role.
Sai Pallavi plays Sita in Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana, with Ranbir Kapoor as Rama and Yash as Ravana.
