Anticipation is high for Nitesh Tiwari‘s unique take on Ramayan, a film that will see Ranbir Kapoor and Sai Pallavi stepping into the iconic roles of Ram and Sita. Meanwhile, the silver screen is set to welcome influencer Anjali Arora, who will make her debut as Sita in Abhishek Singh’s directorial Shri Ramayan Katha. Both films, while drawing inspiration from the Hindu epic, promise to offer their distinct interpretations.
In a recent interview with ETimes, Anjali couldn’t contain her gratitude for the opportunity to portray Sita. She shared her initial curiosity about landing the role, revealing that she competed with a few other actors before being chosen by the director. Since being finalized for the role last month, Anjali has been pouring her heart and soul into preparing for the character, diligently watching videos and attending workshops.
Acknowledging the inevitable comparisons to Sai Pallavi’s portrayal of Sita in Ramayan, Anjali expressed her deep respect for the established actor, saying, “If I am compared to a Bollywood actress of her caliber, I will be happy.” This statement reflects the mutual admiration and respect between the two actors.
Anjali Arora, who gained a significant following on social media after her dance videos went viral and her participation in the reality show Lock Upp, understands the concerns about her social media persona influencing audience perception of her portrayal as Sita. She reassures the audience about her ability to handle criticism, firmly believing that her social media image will not affect her performance. She acknowledges the presence of trolls and their right to express their opinions but remains confident in her acting skills, showcasing her resilience and professionalism.
