Ranbir Kapoor and Sai Pallavi’s highly anticipated mythological epic Ramayana: Rise of a Legend (Part 1) was released worldwide on Thursday, November 5, 2026. Amid the Diwali season, the divinity-themed release was predicted to perform well, which proved to be true. Amid the buzz around the movie, the actors’ personal lives have come under the spotlight.
Recently, Sai Pallavi’s ‘wedding attire’ comment prompted fans to wonder whether the actress was dropping subtle hints about her next big life update. It also made fans revisit her past link-up and secret marriage rumours with National Award-winning Tamil movie director Rajkumar Periasamy.
Why did fans think Sai Pallavi was ‘secretly getting married’?
Just days before Sai Pallavi’s recent project Ramanaya hit the theatres, she sparked marriage buzz. At that time, the actress appeared in Season 2 of Jayammu Nischayammu Raa with Jagapathi, where she got emotional while talking about her sister, Pooja’s wedding. She opened up about how she carried out crucial duties of the festivities, including trying on lehengas for her sister.
It was that particular comment that confused fans, who thought Sai was trying on wedding outfits for her upcoming secret marriage. The buzz was fuelled by Sai Pallavi’s jovial comment that she would try lehengas after Ramayana‘s release, and many would think that she is set to tie the knot secretly. In her words:
“After Ramayana, I would try out her lehengas. They would think I am secretly getting married. It’s because I would go and say, ‘Get me all the wedding attire.’ They would think it’s my wedding and I was trying it out. So I had to keep hiding it.”
Sai Pallavi once sparked secret marriage buzz with director Rajkumar Periasamy
A few years earlier, Sai Pallavi was caught up in secret wedding rumours with director Rajkumar Periasamy. The controversy erupted after a picture of Sai and Rajkumar surfaced on social media, where they can be seen dressed in traditional outfits and wearing red garlands around their necks. The duo’s photos in wedding attires went viral overnight, following which the actress herself had to shut down the rumours once and for all.
Sai clarified that the image was real, but it was taken out of context, leading to the spread of false information. The actress shared that the photograph was actually from the mahurat pooja of her film titled SK 21 and it’s been ‘intentionally cropped and circulated with paid bots’ to malign their reputation.
Sai Pallavi took to X (formerly Twitter) to say the fake news was created with ‘disgusting intentions.’ The actress said it was particularly disheartening to be dragged into unnecessary and vile controversies when she wanted to make work-related announcements or share other updates with her fans. She stated:
“Honestly, I don’t care for Rumours but when it involves friends who are family, I have to speak up. An image from my film’s pooja ceremony was intentionally cropped and circulated with paid bots & disgusting intentions. When I have pleasant announcements to share on my work front, it’s disheartening to have to explain for all these jobless doings. To cause discomfort like this is purely vile.”
Currently, in November 2026, Sai Pallavi is generating buzz yet again, but this time it’s due to criticism surrounding her casting as Goddess Sita in Ramayana: Rise of a Legend (Part 1), which was released worldwide on Thursday, November 5, 2026. Amid the buzz, Sai’s industry acquaintance Dhanush defended her, calling her a ‘great performer’ and ‘someone with such a pure heart.’
