Sai Pallavi, who plays Sita in Ramayana, has triggered a debate on social media with her comments about Ravana at the film’s world premiere in Los Angeles. Speaking at the event, the actress said “Ravana is not all bad, It’s important that we spot the Ravana in us, and make changes over time,” she said.

While the statement appears to focus on identifying negative qualities within ourselves and it somehow shown Ravana in positive angle to an extent, it has sparked different reactions online. Some people have come out in support of Sai Pallavi, arguing that she was speaking about the flaws and negative tendencies that exist in every human being.

However, others believe Ravana’s actions and his role in the epic should not be praised, and feel that comparing his nature with the flaws found in everyone is wrong. The discussion has once again highlighted how sensitive conversations around the Ramayana can become.

With the film attracting attention even before its release, the actress’s remarks have become a talking point. When such a key member of the film makes such statements, things can go wrong, and a negative vibe can be created right away.

Whether audiences view her words as a meaningful message or an unnecessary comment, the debate continues online. Namit Malhotra produced the film, which has Ranbir Kapoor and Yash in key roles. Ramayana part 1 worldwide release on November 5.
