Sai Pallavi, who is probably the girl of your dreams or your latest crush, celebrates her 27th birthday today. But did you know that the actor is super spunky as well? As per published reports, she had turned down an endorsement deal worth Rs 2 crores. The deal involved endorsing cosmetics. The report further quoted her saying, “I don’t endorse beauty products. You need to be confident about who you are and your skin colour.” We’re cheering for her attitude!

Before Sai Pallavi shared the screen with noted actors like Nivin Polly, Varun Tej or Naga Shaurya, she shared the screen with Bollywood superstar Kangana Ranaut in a Tamil film. She played the role of one of her friends in the film.

Sai Pallavi did not become a successful actor overnight. The pretty lady had her own share of ups and downs. Her journey in front of the camera started with a dance reality show. Post that, she was chosen for another show. Then  a few advertisements came her way which she did. The actor finally signed the dotted line for her first feature film in Malayalam, Premam.

So you think Sai Pallavi is setting her medical degree aside now that she has become a star in her own right. You, my friend, are mistaken then! The young talent still aspires to be a cardiologist someday. We wonder who would she find in the hospital, patients or fans?

Sai Pallavi may have made a mark in multiple film industries for her performances, but acting wasn’t an option for her while growing up. In fact, her chosen career path led her to complete a medical degree from Tbilisi State Medical University, Georgia, US.

Just when the industry had branded female lead actors to be of a certain type, Sai Pallavi came and crashed them all. This girl, who has people going gaga over her accent, hails from Coimbatore, the lush green city of Tamil Nadu.
