Actress Sai Pallavi, who rose to fame by playing the role of a Malar teacher in Premam, has a strict policy against wearing short dresses in her films. In a promo interview, Sai Pallavi spoke about the reason why she doesn’t wear short dresses in her films and also explained how uncomfortable she felt when she once wore one in a dance video.
Since her acting debut in the Malayalam coming-of-age drama Premam, Pallavi has maintained a very clean on-screen image through her roles, including what she wears on-screen.
In an interview with Galatta, Pallavi explained why she doesn’t wear short dresses in her films: She had a horrific experience when she once wore one in a competition. “When I was studying in Georgia, I learned to tango. For a performance, I had to wear a slit dress and I even took permission from my parents. Even they were OK with it. Later, when my first film, Premam, hit the theatres and I got applause for my performance, my tango dance video went viral. People started pausing the video and commenting on my slit dress. I felt that I was being objectified and was very uncomfortable,” she said.
Since that incident, I have chosen to be like that. I didn’t want to do something and later felt uncomfortable about it. Also, we cannot judge a person’s character by what they are wearing. If you ask my parents, they will say that sometimes I shout and lose my composure. What I wear doesn’t necessarily reflect my personality,” she added.
Ramayan actor Sunil Lahri disagrees with Sai Pallavi as Goddess Sita in Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana. In an interview recently, Sunil said that Sai does not have the qualities of the goddess. He described Sita as a woman with a “beautiful and perfect” face. Sunil confessed that he does not see that perfection in Sai’s face. The South Indian star will make her Bollywood debut in the Ranbir Kapoor-led film.
