‘Ramayana’ Teaser Sparks Buzz: A Look at Sita’s Iconic Portrayals Over Time
Sita In Ramayana: The teaser for Nitesh Tiwari's film 'Ramayana' was recently released. Ranbir Kapoor plays Lord Rama in the film, while Sai Pallavi plays Mother Sita. Find out which actress played Sita before Sai.
The first teaser of Ramayana, starring Ranbir Kapoor, is creating waves on social media. Sai Pallavi will be playing the character of Sita in Ramayana, which is releasing on Diwali. But the role of Sita has evolved through the years, and many popular actors have played the character of Sita even before Sai Pallavi. Initially, women were not allowed to perform in films; therefore, men had to act like women.
Initially, in 1917, the character of Ram and Sita in Ramayana was played by a man called Anna Salunke. Later on, women started performing in films. One of the earliest famous actresses to portray Sita was Durga Khote in the film Sita, which was filmed in Bengal. In the same film, Prithviraj Kapoor played the role of Ram. Shivna Samarth then played Sita in the 1943 film "Ram Rajya."
