From the illuminating halls of MBBS college to the dazzling lights of Bollywood, she turned her back on stereotypes.

Sai Pallavi was born in Coimbatore in 1992. She started working in films in supporting roles in her early 20s.

She made her major acting debut with Premam in 2015. She was also completing her higher studies during this time.

Pallavi earned fame and a name for her work in several films. She became famous in Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam cinema.

In 2019, she was offered a fairness cream ad worth Rs. 2 crore but she refused to accept the offer. She was always known for her dusky complexion. She shared an event from her early teenage life about how the darker girls are seen in this society.

When I was in school and college, I grew up with friends who would look at a girl with a darker boyfriend and say, aye you can do better. You are way out of his league. And when you see a guy with a girl who is a little darker you end up saying I think there is something else, what does this guy see in this girl?
