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.
