The girl with acne!
Sai Pallavi was initially conscious about acne marks, but now she confidently flaunts them. She flaunts her real beauty and her de-glam look is quite popular among fans.

She rejected a fairness cream advertisement worth a whopping Rs 2 crores.
In an interview with BehindWoods, she said, "This is Indian colour. We can't go to foreigners and ask them why they're white, and if they know that they will get cancer because of it. We can't look at them and think we want that. That's their skin colour and this is ours. Africans have their own colour too and they are beautiful.?What will I do with the money I get from such an ad? I'll go home and eat three chapatis or rice, go around in my car. I don't have other big needs. I see if I can contribute to the happiness of people around me or if I can say that these standards we see are wrong."
Not just as an actor, she is loved as a dancer too.?
One of her most loved dance songs is Rowdy Baby from Dhanush starrer Maari 2.?
Sai Pallavi once said that she didn't want to get married as she wanted to stay with her parents forever and take care of them.
More about Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayan

KGF star Yash as Ravana

Nitesh Tiwari said that he wants kids as well as old people to be excited about the film.?
"Ramayana is magical. It is something that we have not seen from an Indian maker. It has got a lot of magical qualities to it and the kind of forest we had, you had animals talking to us, this was something which is wonderful and it allows you to have the potential to present beautifully on screen a world that you have not seen before. It is a prep-heavy film. It is very tough but gratifying if you can get it right, as you have the technology to do it," he was quoted as saying by PTI. ? ?
As per reports, the VFX of the film will be prepared by Oscar Winning Company DNEG, and so, they will most likely be much better than that of Om Raut's Adipurush.?

My nine-year-old kid has to find it exciting, they are fans of Avengers. At the same time, it needs to be exciting for my mother-in-law at a level where she would be like I have not seen Ramayana in this form. It is a big challenge," he added.??
