In a sincere act of reverence, Sai Pallavi Senthamarai recently visited the National War Memorial before launching the promotions for her upcoming film, Amaran. Sharing her experience on social media, the actor wrote, “I wanted to visit the #NationalWarMemorial before starting the promotions for #Amaran and went there a few days ago. This sacred place, with its ‘brick-like tablets’ dedicated to each Braveheart who sacrificed their lives for us, holds immense significance.”
Sai Pallavi paid respects to two highly honored soldiers, Major Mukund Varadarajan AC (P) and Sepoy Vikram Singh SC (P), expressing her gratitude for their sacrifice. Her visit struck a chord with fans and many others, highlighting the importance of remembering the country’s military heroes.
However, the actor has recently faced controversy over a past statement made during promotions for Virata Parvam. In the clip, now circulating on social media, Sai Pallavi remarked, “Our Indians will see the Pakistan army as terrorists, and similarly, people living in Pakistan view our Indian soldiers as terrorists, thinking we are harming them. It all depends on one’s perspective.”
Her comments have sparked a wave of criticism online, with many users arguing that Indian soldiers have not crossed borders into Pakistan to harm civilians. Some are also reminding the actor that terrorist incidents in India have been instigated by groups based in Pakistan. Calls for boycotts on her films, including Amaran and Ramayan, have emerged, and Amaran is receiving attention on social media for these reasons. Fans and critics alike are now waiting to see if Sai Pallavi will address the controversy publicly.
Amaran is up for release in a couple of days.
