South Indian actress Sai Pallavi has landed in controversy for her anti-remarks on Kashmiri pandits from ‘The Kashmir Files’.
In an interview, the actress shared her opinion on the Kashmiri Files movie, and said, “The Kashmir Files showed how Kashmiri Pandits were killed at the time. If you are taking the issue as a religious conflict, a recent incident happened where a Muslim driver, who was transporting cows, was beaten up and forced to chant ‘Jai Shri Ram’.”
“So, where’s the difference between these two incidents. We have to be good human beings. If we are good ones, we won’t hurt others. To answer your question, justice won’t be there either on the side of the right or the left, if you are not a good human being,” she said.

According to the actress, she is very neutral. “So what I believe is if you are stronger than me, and you are oppressing me, then you are in the wrong. A large number of people oppressing a small group of people is wrong. A battle has to be fought between two equals,” she maintained.
Asked about her political inclination, the actor said that she grew up in a neutral family and was taught to be a good human being. Sai Pallavi’s comments became a huge discussion point on social media as many netizens criticised her.
On the work front, Pallavi starrer Virata Parvam is set to release in theatres on June 17 today. The movie is inspired by true events of the 1990s.
