National Award or not, Sai Pallavi continues to win hearts with her unwavering humility and grounded persona. The actress recently sparked a social media storm after opening up about her heartfelt desire to win India’s prestigious National Film Award, linking it to an emotional promise tied to her late grandmother.

“I’ll Wear My Grandmother’s Saree If I Win a National Award”

In a candid conversation, Sai Pallavi revealed a deeply personal anecdote: “When I was 21, my grandmother gifted me a saree.

However, fans rallied behind her, praising her grace in handling the disappointment and reaffirming their admiration for her craft.
