Sai Pallavi’s fans support her
Since Monday afternoon, Sai’s fans took to X to share their disappointment that the awards did not come as per their expectations. One fan shared a picture of an important scene of Sai from Gargi, writing, “Robbed.” Another shared a screenshot of the actor from the film, writing, “Sai Pallavi deserved best actress for Gargi. No offense to Nithya Menen, but Gargi’s role had more emotions than Thiruchitrambalam’s Shobana and was too heavy for one actress to carry.”
Another thought everything about the film was ‘top class’, wondering why it didn’t win any awards, “Sai Pallavi as #GARGI deserves a National Award more than anyone else… Script, screenplay, performances, everything about the film is top class. Disappointed with the announcement of #NationalFilmAwards.” Another agreed, “Sai Pallavi deserves a National Award for her performance in #Gargi. Totally disappointed by this #NationalFilmAwards.”
A fan, while ‘thrilled’ with Nithya’s win, seemed disappointed for both Mammootty and Sai, writing, “#Mammootty, undoubtedly, deserves the #NationalAward but he is one of those actors who outgrow such accolades,” He further added, “I am thrilled with #NithyaMenon’s win, though I would have been happier if #SaiPallavi had won for her honest performance in #Gargi.”
A fan thought Sai’s performance in Gargi was one of the best of the year, “What Sai Pallavi did in #Gargi was extraordinary, exceptional and mesmerizing. She lives the character, which is not easy to play. She deserves a National Award more than anyone else. Regardless of the awards, Gargi, you will always be loved. One of the finest performances by Sai Pallavi.”
One thanked her for her performance in Gargi, and said the award would be a ‘well-deserved recognition’ of her skills, “A National Award for #SaiPallavi would be well-deserved recognition for her exceptional acting range in #Gargi. She immersed herself completely in the character! She conveyed the complex emotions of #Gargi. No matter what, you are the best @Sai_Pallavi92. Thank you for Gargi!”
