In an era where digital influencers and social media stars dominate the landscape, actress Sai Pallavi stands out for her preference for a low profile. In a recent interview with Behindwoods, she shared insights into how her medical background has helped her navigate the pressures of fame while maintaining her authenticity.
“I must thank my medical degree for keeping me grounded,” Sai Pallavi stated, reflecting on the career choices she made post-Premam. Despite the clamoring for her immediate return to the screen, she prioritized finishing her education, ensuring she wouldn’t succumb to the pressures of early stardom. “I knew I’d always have that as a backup,” she added, emphasizing the importance of having a fallback option.
Pallavi’s upcoming Bollywood debut in the much-anticipated Ramayan, where she plays Sita, has further intensified the spotlight on her. However, she remains skeptical about the industry’s expectations, particularly the push for actors to maintain constant public visibility. “I was approached by a Bollywood acquaintance who suggested I should hire a PR agency,” she recounted. “But I didn’t understand the need because when I do films, I give interviews. I questioned why I’d need a PR agency,” she explained.
The actor expressed her bewilderment at the concept of needing to be in the public eye constantly. “I was told it was important to have people talking about me even when I was not doing films. But why? If everyone is talking about me so much, won’t it just get boring after a while?” Her perspective highlights her belief that constant attention can dilute genuine engagement.
In an industry often fraught with pressure to conform to societal standards, Sai Pallavi champions the importance of being true to oneself. “Let’s be honest, being myself is allowed only if it conforms to societal rules,” she noted. She recognizes the fear that many feel about offending others or getting embroiled in controversies. “Rumours just become impressions today. The media plays a crucial role in shaping perceptions and can consume you. So, I prefer keeping things private,” she stated, advocating for a more measured and thoughtful approach to celebrity culture.
On the film front, Sai Pallavi is looking forward to the release of Amaran, directed by Rajkumar Periasamy, alongside Sivakarthikeyan, and Thandel, which features Naga Chaitanya. As she balances her burgeoning career with her commitment to authenticity, Sai Pallavi remains a refreshing presence in the entertainment industry.
