Actress Sai Pallavi, who is all geared up for the release of her film Amaran, found herself at the centre of a controversy, facing attack from right-wing groups following her comment on the Indian Army. An old video of the actress’ interview surfaced on social media where she said that the Indian army thinks Pakistanis are terrorists and vice versa.
Her statement, however, was not well-received by right-wing groups on social media platform X. The viral video of the Premam actress is from an interview in January 2022. The short clip of the interview was widely shared to spread misinformation and incite hatred.

During the interview, Sai Pallavi was sharing her view on violence. “I don’t understand violence. It is very difficult for me to understand it,” she said.
Fuming at her comment, one of the right-wing users wrote, “Has India ever invaded into other countries’ territories to be thought of as terrorists? Hasn’t India always been at the receiving end of guarding its territories at all ends from Pakistan and China? Then why would Indian soldiers even be ‘perceived’ as terrorists?”
While another added, “So Sad Sai Pallavi is playing role of Sita Ma in Ramayan…She is saying Pakistan people see Indian Army as terrorists. It’s a shame for all the Hindus and insult for our faith.”
Further twisting the narrative, another user commented, “She is one of the most radicalized individuals I have ever encountered. She has no understanding that the Indian Army exists to protect our nation, not to harm innocent people across the border. Hey @Sai_Pallavi92, if you have the f*** Guts, answer this: can you name a single instance where a terror attack in Pakistan killed innocents because of the Indian Army? I have a list of instances where Pakistan has sent armed terrorists to kill our soldiers and civilians. Do not dare to speak a word against the Indian Army.”
