Sai Pallavi’s previous criticism of The Kashmir Files, a film favored by right-wing supporters, has fueled speculations that this factor influenced the decision of the jury. Fans are questioning whether these elements contributed to her not winning the Best Actress award.
This controversy brings to mind the 2005 National Awards when Shah Rukh Khan was overlooked for Best Actor for his great performance in Swades, which went to Saif Ali Khan for his role in a light romantic film like Hum Tum.
There are also speculations that Sai Pallavi might face more negativity in the coming days as she is portraying the role of Sita in Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana.
