Actor Sai Pallavi is facing backlash on social media with the hashtag #BoycottSaiPallavi after an old interview of hers resurfaced online facing an attack from right-wing groups following her comment on the Indian Army.
In the 2022 interview, Sai Pallavi expressed her thoughts on violence saying she doesn’t understand it. She shared examples, including the Kashmiri Pandit genocide and a Muslim driver being lynched by a mob chanting Jai Shri Ram. The short clip of the interview was widely shared to spread misinformation and incite hatred.
Many people feel Sai Pallavi’s comments disrespect the Indian Army and equate them with Pakistani terrorists. Some comments online call for boycotting her upcoming films including her role as Maa Sita in Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana.
This is what she thinks don’t just #BoycottSaiPallaviMovies but also boycott her movie Amaran and she is going to play Sita in Ramayana which should be opposed as well.
