MUMBAI – A wave of online sentiment is growing among fans of global superstar Urvashi Rautela, who are expressing their disappointment over the casting for the role of Sita in the upcoming film Ramayana. On Urvashi Rautela’s Instagram account, a significant number of fans have been voicing their belief that she, and not the cast actress Sai Pallavi, should have been chosen for the iconic role.
The conversation is particularly active on posts where Rautela is seen in traditional attire, such as sarees and temple jewelry. Comments are flooding in, with fans stating, “You are the real Sita Maa” and “Sai Pallavi is good, but Urvashi has that divine glow.” Many are suggesting that Rautela’s “divine beauty, expressive eyes, and regal grace” make her the ideal candidate to portray the mythological queen.
One follower’s comment read, “With your aura, elegance, and strength — you’re our Sita, not anyone else.” Another noted, “This role needed someone with celestial charm. You would’ve been perfect, Urvashi.” These passionate remarks highlight a desire among a section of the audience for a performer they feel embodies the grandeur and screen presence required for the part.
While acknowledging Sai Pallavi’s talent, these fans feel that casting directors may have overlooked Urvashi’s potential for a role of such mythological significance. The online movement has led to the use of hashtags like #UrvashiAsSita and the creation of fan-made content imagining her as the Queen of Ayodhya.
As the buzz continues to grow, Urvashi Rautela has yet to publicly respond to the outpouring of support. The ongoing fan campaign, however, underscores a passionate belief that Urvashi Rautela has the qualities to bring the character of Sita to life on the big screen.
