Sai Pallavi has worked for a decade in the South and has acted in Malayalam, Tamil, and Telugu films, but Ek Din marks her debut in Hindi. The actor is gearing up for the release of her first Hindi film, Ek Din, in which she stars alongside Junaid Khan. She and Junaid were present at a promotional event for the film on Sunday, where she gave a heartfelt speech to thank everyone and share that she is excited as well as nervous.
What Sai Pallavi said
Producer Aamir Khan was also present at the event. He stood beside Junaid and Sai, along with the other cast members. Sai went ahead and gave a speech to thank everyone. She said, “I don’t know what work I have done, but I felt happy that jo bhi maine kiya, it brings me to a room filled with people who are so talented, and I end up being so humbled. Aamir sir is crazy enough to be that emotional in public, but though I love my seats, I sometimes wish that the lights were dimmed so that I can, you know, be more emotional.”
She added, “You guys were unbelievable, every single person, you’re all such beautiful narrators, I could see your emotions, I could see the visuals in front of me. It was absolutely beautiful. Thank you so much for whatever has led you all the way here. God bless you and may you continue to do this and influence more lives and touch our souls. Sometimes I feel my journey in the industry, I don’t know if I was somebody who would genuinely go to a theatre, go to a place where it’s going to be a culmination of such talents, but whatever I’ve done has led me here and I’m so grateful for the whole journey.”
‘I’m actually quite nervous’
She concluded by thanking Aamir and said, “Thank you, Aamir sir, for putting me in a space like this, picking me to be part of this movie where I’m able to enjoy this, feel so much of love. And every time you all spoke about love, I could see your face glow. This is going to be my first Hindi film. I’m actually quite nervous. But it’s an absolutely beautiful journey. Thank you so much to the whole team. Junaid was an absolutely beautiful co-star. An obedient child, actually. He’s so nice. I had a great time. Today I didn’t prepare what I wanted to say, but please forgive me. There’s a lot of love inside for you.”
