Sai Pallavi slams reports of turning vegetarian for 'Ramayana', warns of legal action
Chennai: Sai Pallavi, set to portray Sita in Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana alongside Ranbir Kapoor, has strongly refuted rumours claiming she gave up non-vegetarian food for the role. The actor took to social media to denounce the reports and cautioned against the spread of false information.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Sai Pallavi expressed frustration over fabricated stories and warned of legal action. She wrote, "Most of the time, I choose to stay silent when baseless rumours are spread, but it’s high time I react. Especially around the release or announcement of my films, these fabricated lies seem to peak. If any ‘reputed’ media or individual spreads such stories again, you will hear from me legally. Period!"
The rumours reportedly originated from a Tamil daily, which claimed that Sai Pallavi adopted vegetarianism while preparing for her role as Sita. It also suggested that she travels with a team of cooks to ensure vegetarian meals.
However, Sai Pallavi clarified that she has always been a vegetarian. In a past interview, she stated, "I am forever a vegetarian. I can't see a life being taken or think it's okay to hurt another being."
Sai Pallavi was last seen in the Tamil biographical action film Amaran, which depicted a segment based on Major Mukund Varadarajan's life. Starring Sivakarthikeyan in the lead, the film achieved significant box-office success.
The actor is now gearing up for her Bollywood debut in Nitesh Tiwari's ambitious adaptation of Ramayana. The film features an ensemble cast, including Ranbir Kapoor, Ravi Dubey, Sunny Deol, and Kannada superstar Yash. The first part of the two-part epic is slated for release in 2026.

Punishment for those disrupting assembly proceedings, warns Speaker UT Khader
Belagavi: Speaker U.T. Khader on Friday warned that members who disrupt Assembly proceedings by talking in their seats during debates will be made to sit in the House for an entire day as a disciplinary measure.
The warning came after the Question Hour, when Deputy Leader of the Opposition Arvind Bellad was permitted to initiate a discussion on the development of North Karnataka.
At this point, expelled BJP MLA Basanagouda Patil Yatnal objected, stating that he had been seeking a debate for the past three days but had not been given an opportunity.

Responding to the objection, Speaker Khader said Bellad had already been granted permission and assured Yatnal that he would be allowed to speak at the next opportunity. He noted that even as a serious discussion was underway, several MLAs were speaking among themselves with their microphones on, disrupting the proceedings.
Expressing displeasure over the conduct of members, Khader likened the situation to football, where players receive red, yellow, or white cards for violations. Similarly, he said, the Assembly issues warning cards to members who disturb the House. If they fail to correct themselves despite repeated warnings, they would be required to remain seated in the Assembly hall for a full day as punishment, he stated.
