After saying Kriti Sanon 'did not connect with her character on a spiritual level' in Adipurush, Dipika Chikhlia returns as Sita for fans

Om Raut's Adipurush, which is based on Ramayana, released in theatres on June 16 and has been receiving criticism ever since. Adipurush stars Prabhas as Raghav, Kriti Sanon as Janaki, Sunny Singh as Shesh and Saif Ali Khan as Lankesh. The film is being criticized for its language and CGI, and constant comparisons are being drawn with Ramanand Sagar’s 1987 serial Ramayan which starred Arun Govil as Ram and Dipika Chikhila as Sita.

Now, Dipika has uploaded a video with various shots of her dressed as Sita on 'public demand'. The actress wrote in the caption, “This post is on public demand … I am grateful for the love I have always received for the role i played … Me … as sitaji …could not have asked for more.” This comes amid several fans of the original Ramayan requesting Dipika and Arun to share clips from their show. 

Recently, Dipika had spoken about another Adipurush controversy which sparked after director Om shared a goodbye kiss with Kriti outside Tirupati temple. Strongly reacting against the incident, Dipika said, "With actors nowadays, as they neither enter the character nor understand its emotions. For them, the Ramayana must have been just a film. Perhaps they haven't connected with it on a spiritual level." 

Dipika also stated that Kriti must have never thought of herself as Sita Ji. She further added that kissing and hugging each other is considered a sweet gesture by newer-generation actors. "She would become It becomes a matter of emotions. I have lived the character of Sita, while today's actresses just consider it a role. After the film or project is over, they don't care anymore." Dipika stated.
