Content creator Anjali Arora has addressed online criticism over her casting as Goddess Sita in the upcoming film Mahakavya Shri Ramayan Katha. Speaking at the trailer launch, Arora said she is not ashamed of her dance videos, calling dancing her hobby. She urged audiences to separate her personal life from her on-screen role. NDTV reports she said, "Everyone dances, which actor doesn't dance?"
Arora told Hindustan Times she was not sad about the backlash because public figures have given the public the right to judge them. Times Now reports she added that her responsibility is to give her best to every character. The film, directed by Abhishek Singh, also stars Dev Sharma as Lord Ram and Rajniesh Duggall as Ravan. It is set to release in theatres on September 25, 2026.
Indian Opinion Analysis
All three sources gave neutral straight-reporting coverage of Arora's comments, with no slant toward or against the government. The framing was uniform: each outlet led with her defence of dancing and her call to separate her persona from the role. No source challenged the casting or amplified the criticism beyond quoting Arora's own account. The coverage implies that the story is treated as entertainment news, not a cultural controversy. The next data point to watch is audience and box office reception when the film releases on September 25, 2026.
