Anjali Arora on playing Sita in Shri Ramayan Katha and comparisons with Sai Pallavi: ‘If I am compared to a Bollywood actress…’

Given that both films are based on the Hindu epic, Anjali Arora acknowledged that her performance will inevitably be compared to Sai Pallavi’s portrayal of Sita in Ramayan. However, she also expressed her contentment at being compared to an established actor, stating, “If I am compared to a Bollywood actress, I will be happy.”

Anjali Arora garnered a significant social media following after her dance videos went viral, followed by her participation in the reality show Lock Upp. During the interview, she addressed concerns about whether her social media persona might influence audience perception as she portrays Sita in Shri Ramayan Katha. While acknowledging that she cannot alter anyone’s perspective towards her, she emphasised her dedication to honing her character. Anjali also recognised the inevitability of trolls and their right to express their views, asserting that her “social media image has nothing to do with her acting skills and won’t affect her performance.”
