6 Times Sai Pallavi Impressed Us With Her Stunning Natural Beauty

When Sai Pallavi decided to re-enter the world of showbiz after taking a long break (she starred in two movies as a child artiste), she never realized the commotion she would cause. When Premam released at the theatres, it came out as a smashing hit and everybody wanted to know about the beautiful, fresh-faced young actress? She has been an inspiration for Indian women across the country and has made a name for herself for her intellectual capabilities and smart choices. From rejecting a fairness cream endorsement to raising awareness for autism by playing an autistic woman in a film, Sai Pallavi is as bold as she is beautiful. So, let’s take a look at six times, Sai Pallavi impressed us with her beauty in simplicity:

1. When She Decided To Kick Makeup For All Her Films

The unfortunate reality is that we live in a very superficial society. Considering that actresses are always in the limelight and often shamed by paparazzi for stepping out without makeup, it’s a major decision to not wear any. Sai Pallavi has been very careful with her skincare as she often struggles with acne issues. After her look in Premam was received very well, she decided to stay makeup-free for all her other films as well. And why, not? The actress has glowing skin and the kind of infectious smile that can liven up any room.

2. When She Rejected A Fairness Cream Endorsement

In a country that pushes the notion that “Fair is lovely”, Sai Pallavi stood her ground and rejected a major fairness cream commercial. She was approached in the year 2019 and later said, “This is the Indian color. We can’t go to foreigners and ask them why they’re white, and if they know that they will get cancer because of it. That’s their skin color and this is ours.”. She addressed a major point. After all, a majority of Indians are varying shades of brown. We need to start accepting ourselves before worshipping foreign ideals.

3. The Time She Rocked A Simple And Lovely Outfit To An Award Function

Sai Pallavi knows how to make even a simple look elegant. She is often spotted with her curls hanging loose and simple sarees. Despite not rocking expensive big brands and designer clothes, Sai Pallavi remains elegant and still stands out in a crowd. She teaches us that one does not necessarily need to wear fancy and expensive clothes to stand out in a crowd. It’s all in the way you carry yourself. A truly confident woman would stand out in a crowd regardless of whether she is wearing a gorgeous Banarasi saree or a potato sack (Yes, Marilyn Monroe once posed in a potato sack to prove she could look glamorous in anything).

4. When She Celebrated Vishu With A Beautiful Beachside Shoot

Sai Pallavi celebrated the Malayalam New Year of Vishu with a beautiful beachside photoshoot; courtesy of a friend of hers. In the picture, we see Sai Pallavi dressed in a traditional Kasavu (Kerala) Saree wearing golden bangles and dangly earrings. Her hair is tied up in a simple bun and adorned in mullapoo (jasmine flowers). Talk about keeping it simple, yet traditional. Sai Pallavi’s appeal lies in the fact that she has a girl-next-door aura.

5. The Time She Opened Up About Her Acne

Dealing with acne is a problem that is common to many people but rarely talked about in the media. Rather than keeping mum and conforming to society’s norms by wearing makeup to cover her acne, Sai Pallavi decided to go make-up free and embrace her skin for everything that it is. Sai Pallavi deals with a form of acne that affects her cheeks called rosacea. She had admitted in interviews that she was initially very hesitant to go in front of the cameras as she was worried people would mock her acne. However, the director of Premam, Alphonse Puthren encouraged her to give it her best. Sai Pallavi went on to pull through the movie and was surprised to see that people didn’t care about her acne. She found acceptance from filmgoers who appreciated her natural beauty and thought that she was beautiful regardless of whether she had acne or not.

6. When She Shared Her Concerns About The Environment

In a world where we often see celebrities getting dolled up and showing (sometimes feigned) concern for the environment, Sai Pallavi shared a simple challenge. She nominated two high profile actors, Samantha Akkineni and Rana Dagubati to plant a tree and make a difference. Sai Pallavi spoke up about what motivated her to put up their challenge. She said, “The quality of air is deteriorating to a scary extent. We’ve been taking more than we give. We need to start now and one plant each is a great place to begin. I request everyone to go out there, find a place, plant a tree, and make a difference!”

At the end of the day, Sai Pallavi is much loved by plenty of people out there because of how simple and humble she is. After Premam she returned to her studies and graduated. She has spoken about how she wants to be a Cardiologist in the future. Tell us what you love about Sai Pallavi in the comments below!
