Actor Sai Pallavi, who was last seen in Amaran, is currently awaiting the release of her Telugu film Thandel, co-starring Naga Chaitanya. The actor who is known for her strong voice and sharing her personal stances offscreen, has been on the limelight recently, after Sai Pallavi openly praised director Sandeep Reddy Vanga. However, her comments did not go well with netizens who called out the actor.

Sai Pallavi calls Sandeep Vanga ‘unfiltered’, netizens call her ‘pick me girl’

During the recently held pre-release event of upcoming Telugu film Thandel, actor Sai Pallavi openly praised director Sandeep Reddy Vanga, who has made films like Arjun Reddy and Animal. While both the films were called for its misogynistic portrayal of women, Sai Pallavi’s words of praise for the director shocked netizens.

“I believe that every director should have a voice within them, and yours have been unfiltered onscreen and wherever you go. It is so nice and refreshing to see someone who is not influenced by lot of things around them. Sometimes we change ourselves to please others, but you are unapologetic for being yourself, and that is nice,” Sai Pallavi said.

This comment of the actor did not go well with netizens who were quick to point out how disappointed they were with Sai Pallavi, an actor who has been admired for her simplicity and straightforward nature. Some even compared her to Ananya Pandey, when the latter had openly not vouched for a film like Arjun Reddy during a chat show earlier. While others called Sai Pallavi a “pick-me girl”, some felt Sai Pallavi’s words on approval on Vanga’s voice, disturbing.
