Sai Pallavi

Actress Sai Pallavi will soon be seen on screen playing the role of Sita in Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana opposite Ranbir Kapoor who plays Lord Rama. Amid reports of the actress giving up on-veg food for the film, the actress has angrily reacted to the same. She also warned media portal and individuals of legal action if she sees 'cooked crappy stories' on her in the future.

On Wednesday, Sai Pallavi took to her X handle and penned a note slamming reports that claimed she turned vegetarian for her role in Ramayana.

"Most of the times, Almost every-time, I choose to stay silent whenever I see baseless rumours/ fabricated lies/ incorrect statements being spread with or without motives(God knows) but it's high-time that I react as it keeps happening consistently and doesn't seem to cease; especially around the time of my films' releases/ announcements/ cherish-able moments of my career! Next time I see any "reputed" page or media/ individual carrying a cooked up crappy story in the name of news or gossip then you will hear from me legally! Period!," she wrote.

Turns out, Sai Pallavi follows a vegetarian diet irrespective of the film she does. The actor once even stated in an interview, "If you take food, I am forever a vegetarian. I can't see when a life dies. I can't hurt another person and think that it is okay, they deserve it."
