Deepika Chikhalia Weighs In on Sai Pallavi's Sita Casting
The original Ramayan star has thoughts on the new film's lead role.
Deepika Chikhalia, the iconic Sita from the beloved TV series, is speaking up about Sai Pallavi stepping into the role for an upcoming Ramayana film. According to reports making the rounds in Indian media, Chikhalia took a cheeky jab at the casting by noting that the original texts don’t actually describe Sita as having curly hair.
That said, the veteran actress isn’t throwing shade entirely. Industry chatter suggests she acknowledged Sai Pallavi’s acting prowess and admitted she’s keeping an open mind until she actually sees the performance on screen. It’s the kind of measured response that says a lot without saying too much, if you know what we mean.
Sai Pallavi is no stranger to big-screen mythology projects, and this Ramayana film is shaping up to be a major undertaking. Chikhalia’s comments have kicked up the usual debate around casting choices and creative freedom in reimagining classic stories. The jury’s still out on how audiences will receive this fresh take.
