Sai Pallavi recalls an emotional moment on the sets

Sai Pallavi described the incident as one of the few occasions during filming when she felt particularly overwhelmed. Her dialect coach had watched her go about her regular activities between takes, including making phone calls and getting ready for scenes. However, after witnessing her portrayal of Sita, the coach approached her and touched her feet.“The moment when I was a bit overwhelmed was when my dialect coach, she actually touched my feet after a scene, and I was taken aback because she saw me making phone calls, getting ready and all of that. She (the dialect coach) knows I am Sai Pallavi, but sometimes when you play a character that you worship every day, when you have a connection with it like your mother, and when somebody embodies it, you do not care about whether that’s an actor or any other human being. You just want that love.”

I said, ‘What are you even doing?’ So it’s just that moment made me feel the character speaks so much more to so many people. I was very humbled and overwhelmed to experience that amount of love.”
