When Sai Pallavi Clarified Her Comments

She had said in a video, "After I watched the film The Kashmir Files, I had the opportunity to speak with the director. I was disturbed seeing the plight of people and the generations of people that are still affected by it. I would never belittle a tragedy like the genocide. Having said that, I can never come to terms with the mob lynching incident that happened during Covid times. I remember seeing that video and being shaken for days," she said.

"All I wanted to convey was that violence in the name of any religion is a huge sin. Many people online justified the mob lynching incidents. I believe all lives are important. I hope a day doesn't come when a child is born and he/she is afraid of his/her identity," she added.

"I will be thinking twice before I speak my heart because I am anxious that my words may be misinterpreted," Pallavi said.

"I felt alone and conflicted thinking what I did wrong. I felt like they [people who supported her] knew me for who I am," she went on to add.
