Anjali Arora Faces Backlash for Portraying Goddess Sita in Upcoming Film Shri Ramayan Katha

Social media influencer who rose to fame with her viral dance on the song “Kacha Badam”, has once again found herself in controversy. This time, the uproar comes after the release of her first look as Goddess Sita in the upcoming film “Shri Ramayan Katha.”

In the released images, Anjali is seen dressed in a saffron saree, holding a basket of fruits, portraying Sita during her exile period. Another still shows her posing alongside actor Dev Sharma, who plays Lord Ram. However, many internet users have reacted sharply, questioning the casting decision.

Netizens argue that a personality like Anjali Arora—who has been involved in several online controversies, including a rumored MMS scandal—should not portray a revered mythological figure. Comments flooded social media, accusing the filmmakers of disrespecting Hindu sentiments and “commercializing” religious icons for publicity.

While the makers of Shri Ramayan Katha have yet to respond, the controversy has already sparked a heated debate on the portrayal of mythological characters in modern cinema.
