Anjali Arora On Playing Sita in Abhishek Singh’s Shri Ramayan Katha: ‘Director Saw Something in Me…’

Social media influencer Anjali Arora is all set to make her silver screen debut with Sita in Abhishek Singh’s ‘Shri Ramayan Katha.’  Describing how grateful she is for the role, Aditi said that she will try to give her best as Sita. Apart from Abhishek Singh’s film, Nitesh Tiwari is also set to make a magnum opus ‘Ramayana‘ featuring Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram and Sai Pallavi as Sita. Both the movies have drawn inspiration from Hindu mythology. 

During an interview with ETimes Anjali revealed that she had major curiosity when she was offered the role, mentioning that the director had informed her about competing with several other actors. Despite the competition, she was ultimately selected by the filmmakers. She told the portal, “I believe they saw something in me that convinced them I could do justice to the character. I was finalized last month, and since then, I have been watching videos, doing readings, and attending workshops. I will give my best to do justice to the character.”

Since both the films have taken inspiration from Hindu mythology, Anjali Arora recognized that her portrayal of Sita will naturally invite comparisons to Sai Pallavi’s depiction in Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana.
