Netizens react
This statement has drawn sharp criticism from social media users, with many expressing their outrage over her choice of words.
One user remarked sarcastically, “Historian Sai Pallavi is back! Comparing Kashmiri Hindu genocide to cattle smuggling—brilliant insight, right? And now, she’s cast as Mata Sita? Bollywood’s casting is on fire… but not in a good way! At this rate, they’ll be left with an audience of one: their PR team!”
Another added, “So sad this Communist Sai Pallavi is playing the role of Sita Ma in Ramayana.”
Another user wrote, "Indian Army & Pakistan Army – both are the same - Sai Pallavi She’s playing the role of Mata Sita in an upcoming Bollywood movie. She once compared the genocide of Kashmiri Hindus to the lynching of cattle smugglers. It seems she’s quite influenced by Zakir Naik. Don’t watch any movie that includes her."
