Sai Pallavi On Preparing to Play Sita
Sai Pallavi shared one of the most emotional moments of the night while talking about preparing for the role of Goddess Sita. The actress revealed that she spent months practicing daily meditation, believing it was necessary to gain the inner peace, compassion and grace necessary to portray one of the most revered characters in Indian mythology.The “Ek Din” actress shared, “It’s not easy for an actor to get a role like this. Because it’s not easy to play a goddess. There has to be a team that puts their heart and soul into making it the best version possible.” I don’t think I chose to play Sitama. I’m so lucky to be able to play this role. It’s not something you can pursue, it’s not something you can write down and say, this is how I want to play. I would sit down and meditate and say, Sitama, you act through me. Everything I experienced was what you would expect from this movie. “

Anyone who has watched Ramanand Sagar’s Ramayana will be deeply inspired by you.” If I can portray Shri Ram even a little bit like you, I will feel that my efforts have paid off. Bachpan se Sir Bhagwan Shri Ram ka aashirwad, unkieekh aur aapka chehra apne dil mein rakh kar bada hua hoon (Since childhood, we seek the blessings of Lord Rama, his teachings and keep your face in our hearts).
