Sai Pallavi, one of South cinema’s most celebrated actresses, admired for her natural charm and powerhouse performances, is gearing up to play Sita in Nitesh Tiwari’s ambitious epic Ramayana, opposite Ranbir Kapoor’s Ram. Her Bollywood debut has already stirred excitement, with fans eager to witness her grace in the much-anticipated mythological saga.

But recently, the actress found herself in the middle of a social media storm after a few pictures of her in a swimsuit went viral. Now, she has broken her silence.
From Homely Roles to Glamour Talk
Sai Pallavi has built her career around portraying the girl-next-door image. Despite starring alongside superstars like Dhanush and Suriya, she has never emphasized glamour, choosing instead simple, relatable looks. This authenticity has earned her a massive fan following across South India.
However, the narrative shifted when her sister Pooja Kannan posted a picture of her in a swimsuit on Instagram last week. The post set social media abuzz, and soon more such images began circulating online.
Opinions were divided- while some questioned, “Did Sai Pallavi change for the sake of glamour?”, others defended her right to personal freedom.
'It’s My Right to Choose...' Sai Pallavi Responds
Amid the uproar, Sai Pallavi addressed the controversy directly. In a video shared on social media, she clarified with a caption: “The above images are real and aren’t AI-generated.”
The video captured joyful moments from their trip, from spotting dolphins and enjoying water sports to making jewelry, getting matching tattoos, and more.
Through her video, the actress highlighted that her acting and personal preferences are different. The clip gives glimpses into her quality time with her sister.
