Popular actor Sai Pallavi is all set to make her Bollywood debut in Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana, where she will portray the role of Mata Sita alongside Ranbir Kapoor, who plays Lord Ram.
The actors have already begun shooting for the film. It has been widely reported that Ranbir Kapoor has given up alcohol and non-vegetarian food as a mark of respect for his role.
Following this, several media outlets claimed that Sai Pallavi has also adopted a vegetarian lifestyle to prepare for her portrayal of Mata Sita. Reports suggest that Pallavi has committed to maintaining a strict vegetarian diet throughout the film’s shoot, even travelling with her personal chef while abroad to ensure her meals align with her commitment.
Sai Pallavi slammed media outlets for false information.
She took to X (formerly Twitter) to address these fabricated claims, issuing a strong statement against the false reports.

“Most of the time, almost every time, I choose to stay silent when I see baseless rumours, fabricated lies, and incorrect statements being spread—whether with or without motives (God knows). But it’s high time I react, as it keeps happening consistently and doesn’t seem to cease, especially around the time of my films’ releases, announcements, or cherishable moments of my career!” she wrote in the post.
She added. “Next time I see any’reputed’ page or media/individual carrying a cooked-up story in the name of news or gossip, you will hear from me legally! Period!”
