Why is Sai Pallavi trending on social media?

Why is Sai Pallavi trending on social media?

Why is Sai Pallavi trending on social media?
Sai Pallavi has drawn flak over her recent comments. Here's what she said.

During a promotional activity for her upcoming film Virata Parvam, South Indian actor Sai Pallavi spoke about the importance of supporting the oppressed. While talking about acts of violence, she listed the examples of Kashmiri Pandits' "genocide" and the recent incident of a man getting lynched. Soon thereafter, her comments went viral and she started trending on social media. Here's what really happened.

Context
Why does this story matter?
  • Pallavi is known for speaking up against social issues.
  • And she is not the first celebrity to be reeled into controversy related to the Bollywood film The Kashmir Files (TKF).
  • In the past, actor Twinkle Khanna was trolled for her allegedly insensitive comments about the film.
  • But since Pallavi has never made the headlines for controversial reasons, this news is receiving all the attention.
Facts
Here's what Pallavi actually said

During the interview, the actor said she was brought up in a neutral background and was taught to be a good human being. She said violence in any form is wrong. The Love Story actor then elaborated by citing the examples of Kashmiri Pandits' "genocide" as shown in TKF and the incident where a Muslim man was lynched for having cows in his vehicle.

Information
How did netizens react?

The Nandha Gopalan Kumaran actor's statement caused outrage on social media. Some called her "insensitive" for comparing a mob lynching incident and the Kashmir Valley "genocide." However, she also received support from a section of social media users. Many have come out to laud her for speaking courageously against violence and acts of oppression, irrespective of religious beliefs.

Twitter Post
Such comments flooded social media platforms like Twitter

I thought she is an intelligent and grounded girl. Disappointed with #SaiPallavi’s nonsensical comparisons. Stupidity, I guess, comes naturally with the stardom. https://t.co/CCCveqePV7
