When the trailer for Mahakavya Shri Ramayan Katha hit YouTube, a storm of comments erupted, pitting the actress against a swarm of trolls who linked her recent viral dance clips to her portrayal of the devout wife of Lord Rama.
Arora, who first made headlines with a Kacha Badam dance reel that amassed millions of views, said she isn’t ashamed of the clip; it was a spontaneous moment at a friend’s wedding, not a calculated stunt.
She told reporters at the trailer launch that the digital backlash shouldn’t define her cinematic journey. She emphasized that acting is about channeling the character, not the persona, and that audiences should separate her on‑screen Sita from her off‑screen self.
With the film scheduled for a September 25 release, the drama adds a human layer to what critics predict will be a commercially viable mythological epic, competing with the superhero hit The Vvaan.
Arora hinted at future roles that could further break the mold, promising to keep her social media persona distinct from her on‑screen characters, and to keep the audience engaged on both fronts.
