Mumbai, October 15 (Daily Kiran): Social media personality Anjali Arora, best known for her viral dance on the song “Kacha Badam”, has once again found herself at the center of controversy. The influencer and former Lock Upp contestant is set to make her acting debut as Maa Sita in the upcoming mythological film “Shri Ramayan Katha”.
Anjali Arora to Portray Maa Sita
According to reports, Anjali Arora will essay the role of Maa Sita in the film directed by Abhishek Singh, and produced by Prakash Mahobiya and Sanjay Bundela. A photo from the film’s shoot has gone viral on social media, showing Anjali in a saffron saree holding a fruit basket, portraying a traditional Sita look.
While many of her fans praised her appearance, the image has also triggered a wave of criticism online. Several users questioned her casting in a religious role, citing her past controversies and social media image.
Social Media Divided
Soon after the picture went viral, users flooded social media with strong reactions. Some comments read:
“Kal Yug is truly here!”
“A woman who danced in a Thailand bar is now playing Maa Sita?”
“If Anjali Arora is Sita, I’m supporting Ravan this time,” another user wrote sarcastically.
Despite the trolling, Anjali’s fans defended her, saying she deserves a fair chance to prove her acting skills in her debut project.
From Social Media Star to Actor
Anjali Arora, 23, gained immense popularity after her Kacha Badam dance video went viral. She later participated in Kangana Ranaut’s reality show “Lock Upp” and has since built a massive following online. She remains among the most popular social media influencers in India, known for her bold dance videos and short reels.
Reports also suggest that Anjali has been in a relationship with Akash Sansanwal, a youth leader from the BJP.
About the Film
“Shri Ramayan Katha” is expected to be a mythological drama depicting the story of Lord Ram and Maa Sita. The film aims to present a modern cinematic take on the epic, blending devotional elements with emotional storytelling.
Whether Anjali’s portrayal of Maa Sita will silence her critics or intensify the debate remains to be seen once the movie releases.
