On the October 29 and 30 KBC 18 special, Amitabh Bachchan steered the conversation toward Sai Pallavi’s unexpected career pivot. Ranbir Kapoor, playing Lord Rama, let loose a punchline that turned the chat into a laugh‑track for the audience. He quipped, "Bhagwan ka prescription tha, Sir, that she has to act," drawing cheers from the studio crowd.
Sai’s story is anything but ordinary. After earning an MBBS from Tbilisi State Medical University in Georgia, she traded stethoscopes for a camera. Her rise began with the Malayalam hit Premam and later hit the Hindi screens with Fidaa and Gargi. The fact that she can fit a prescription for drama in her chest room makes the joke feel oddly personal.
The film itself is a mythological juggernaut directed by Nitesh Tiwari, a name that’s already carved out a niche with Dangal and Sultan. Ranbir Kapoor takes on Lord Ram, Sai as Sita, Yash as Ravana, and Ravie Dubey as Lakshman. The ensemble even features Sunny Deol, Vivek Oberoi, and Rakul Preet Singh, giving the epic a star‑packed pedigree.
Social media erupted once the clip hit the feeds. Fans labeled the moment a “doctor‑to‑actor moment” and posted memes that paired Sai’s white coat with her Sita look. Instagram’s @sonytvofficial shared a clip that went viral in under an hour, proving the promo’s bite went beyond the broadcast.
With the special episodes slated for 9 pm on Sony Entertainment Television, the buzz will keep building until the film’s theatrical launch on November 5, right before Diwali. After the theatres, the entire Ramayana saga will stream on SonyLIV, letting fans binge the epic right from home.
