At the Pratham Sankalp event in Delhi while kicking off Ramayana promotions, Sai Pallavi spoke about playing the role of Sita.
The promotions for Ramayana: Part 1 were kicked off in New Delhi on Saturday with the Pratham Sankalp event.

At the event, director Nitesh Tiwari was all praise for Sai Pallavi, who also spoke about playing Sita in the film.
Sai Pallavi on playing Sita in Ramayana
When Sai was asked about what it was like to play Sita in Ramayana, she said, “It’s not easy for actors to get roles like this. Because it’s not easy to play a Goddess. There must be a team putting their heart and soul into making it the best version.”
She then added, “I don’t think I chose to play Sita maa. I was blessed to play this role. It’s not something that you can go after and not something you can write down and say, this is how I want to play. I would sit and meditate and say, Sita maa, you act through me. Whatever comes through me is what you want for the film.”
The actor also revealed that she kept herself as ‘pure’ as possible while playing the role, stating, “I was always keeping myself as pure as possible, at least in my thoughts, to keep it very neutral. So I have the best version of myself presenting there.”
Nitesh was all praise for Sai and Ranbir Kapoor playing Sita and Ram in Ramayana. Revealing how well they played their roles, he said, “An actor’s eyes tell the truth. I have seen Ram in Ranbir’s eyes and Sita in Sai’s. I felt the kind of sincerity I was looking for, I found only in these beautiful souls. I don’t see Sai and Ranbir, I see only Sita and Ram in the film.”
