Sai Pallavi broke down on Ramayana sets after dialect coach touched her feet

Actor Sai Pallavi, who plays Goddess Sita in Ramayana: Rise of a Legend opened up on the emotional weight of portraying a deeply revered figure on screen. She admitted experiencing that reverence first-hand during the filming of the Nitesh Tiwari directorial. The actor recalled breaking down in tears on set after her dialect coach touched her feet following a scene.Speaking to content creator Pallavi Raj for her YouTube channel, Myshadowbeats, Sai reflected on the unexpected gesture that left her deeply moved during production.She said, "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 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," the actor added.Caught completely off guard by the reaction, the actor admitted she could not hold back her tears. "So when she did that, even before she started to cry, I started to cry. 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," Sai said.Earlier, while promoting the film on Kaun Banega Crorepati alongside co-stars Ranbir Kapoor and Ravi Dubey, Sai Pallavi had spoken about her spiritual approach to stepping into the role of Goddess Sita."I didn’t want to use my head this time. Every time when I play a character, I think what can I give to that character, but this was the first time when I thought, 'What can I get for playing a role like that of Sita Maa? Like what knowledge will I gain from this?' So, I wanted to keep the process transparent. I didn’t want to think anything about it. I prayed to Sita Maa and went forward with it," she had said.Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, Ramayana: Rise of a Legend features Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama, Ravie Dubey as Lakshman and Yash as Ravana, with Namit Malhotra and Yash serving as co-producers.The film theatrically released on November 5, 2026.- Ends
