Sai Pallavi says Madhuri Dixit and Aishwarya Rai are her dance idols

Sai Pallavi actress has given excellent performances in the South industry. She is also a known as an effortless dancer. In a recent interview with Anupama Chopra on Film Companion, she opened up about her view on movies as a spiritual process, and her journey so far in the industry. She also talked about her passion for dancing.

Sai Pallavi widely known for her dancing skills credits her childhood inspiration, says “I’ve never learned to dance, I grew up watching Madhuri Dixit ma’am, Aishwarya Rai ma’am & Saroj Khan ma’am’s dances. I think, for 3 years, I just danced to one song and that is Dola Re Dola. It was my go-to dance, I liked it so much. Even when you wake me up in my sleep, I’ll be doing that step.” She adds, “I didn’t realize, growing up, that dance will play a major role in disciplining me or bringing some sort of rhythm in my body. So, I owe it all to dancing, and Mum letting me do what I loved, even as a child.”

Sai Pallavi doesn’t prefer being referred to as a star as she just wants to be known for her work. She says, “I’m not a film star, I’m just someone who’s lucky enough to do what she loves & is getting so much love from the people around. I consider myself to be extremely blessed.” She spoke her about the impossible beauty standards set by brands and media for celebrities and she feels that people should not be judgemental on these aspects.

She further added, “I think, it’s maybe the person that I am…I don’t know the other side…of how it might feel. Maybe there’s a lot of pressure to look like your perfect version, and I’m not saying that makeup doesn’t help. If it makes you feel confident, you should do it. I feel confident this way, and I think I’m doing fine.”

For the unversed, Sai Pallavi was last seen Telugu film Virata Parvam and Tamil film Gargi, both of which got critical acclaim. She has been taking a short break from films and will be next seen sharing the screen with Sivakarthikeyan in a yet untitled project.
