Values and Principles Upheld by Sai Pallavi
While Sai Pallavi’s career is soaring to new heights, she has remained grounded and incredibly humble. Despite her early success as a dancer and her recent success as an actor, she has refused to be swayed by the fame and attention that comes with the industry.
Sai Pallavi has lived by the words of wisdom given to her as a child by her mother and has pursued a career in the film industry on her own terms.
Sai Pallavi is a devout follower of Hinduism and has always upheld her religious values. She has refused to be a part of revealing photoshoots and has shunned the limelight.
Her religious values and principles have helped her stay grounded while pursuing a career in the film industry. Her principles have helped her use her influence to create positive change, and have made her a role model for many women.
How Sai Pallavi Uses Her Platform to Create Positive Change
In addition to upholding her religious values and using her influence to create positive change, Sai Pallavi has used her fame and stardom to raise funds for charitable causes.
In May 2019, Sai Pallavi donated her earnings from the premiere of “Kaththi Sandai” to victims of the Cyclone Vayu floods. Her generous act was appreciated by the public, and she received praise and gratitude from the Assam government.
Controversy
On 15th June 2022 Sai Pallavi got stuck in the middle of a controversy when she compared cow vigilantism with the genocide of Kashmiri Pandits. During an interview on a YouTube channel, when she was asked about her views on the political division of society into the right wing and left wing and the violence that takes place as a result of this division, she said,
“The Kashmiri Files showed how Kashmiri Pandits were killed at the time. If you are taking the issue as a religious conflict, there was an instant recently where a Muslim was attacked when he was driving a vehicle carrying cows, and people chanted Jai Shri Ram. So where is the difference between what happened then and what is happening now?.”
However, her comment divided Twitter, while some took a stand for her freedom of speech, even then the actor faced immense backlash from the netizens for drawing a parallel between the two!!
In the same interview, she also said, “For me, violence is the wrong form of communication. Mine is a neutral family where they are only taught to be good human beings. The oppressed, however, should be protected. I don’t know who is right and who is wrong. If you are a good human being, you don’t feel one is right.”
