Sai Pallavi is preparing for her portrayal of Sita in Nitesh Tiwari's adaptation of the Indian epic Ramayana. Her preparation encompasses not only physical training but also spiritual aspects. Recently, the actress visited the Annapurna Devi Temple in Varanasi to receive the blessings of the deity.

Sai travels to Varanasi.

On Monday morning, a fan club dedicated to Sai on X posted images of the actor receiving blessings at the Annapurna Devi Temple in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh. She appeared luminous in a blue salwar suit complemented by a matching dupatta. Adorning herself with marigold garlands and a tilak on her forehead, she was captured with her hands folded in reverence before the deity. In another photograph, she was seen offering prayers with her eyes closed.

Considering a vegetarian lifestyle?

A couple of weeks ago, Sai firmly dismissed recent rumours claiming she adopted a vegetarian diet for her role as Sita in the much-anticipated film. The reports, which surfaced on various media outlets, suggested that Sai had committed to a strict vegetarian lifestyle until the completion of the film's shoot, even bringing along her personal chef while traveling abroad to ensure her meals were exclusively vegetarian.

She took to X to address these fabricated claims, issuing a strong statement against the false reports. "Most of the time, almost every time, I choose to stay silent when I see baseless rumors, fabricated lies, and incorrect statements being spread – whether with or without motives (God knows). But it's high time I react as it keeps happening consistently and doesn't seem to cease, especially around the time of my films' releases, announcements, or cherishable moments of my career!" she wrote in the post.

The actor went on to express her frustration with the media reports, stating that any further circulation of such misleading stories would not go unchallenged. "Next time I see any 'reputed' page or media/individual carrying a cooked-up story in the name of news or gossip, you will hear from me legally! Period!" she added.

The film Ramayana, an ambitious two-part adaptation of the ancient Indian epic, has already garnered significant attention due to its star-studded cast and high-profile production team.

Ranbir Kapoor has been confirmed to play the role of Lord Rama. Yash has also been cast as Ravana. The film is being co-produced by Yash and Namit Malhotra, who has previously worked on Hollywood blockbusters such as Dune and Inception.
