On February 7, 2021, Forbes India had released their seventh annual list of 30 most promising and inspiring professionals, entrepreneurs, artists, disruptors, and performers, under the age bar of 30 years. Astonishingly, Sai Pallavi was the only actress from the Indian film industry to feature in this elite list of successful people. The actress had taken to her Twitter handle and had celebrated her incredible achievement with her massive fanbase across the nation with immense pride.
Post the tremendous success of her films, Premam and Fida, Sai Pallavi was one of the leading Indian actresses and her every move was a piece of news for all the entertainment news portals out there.

"What am I going to do with the money I get from such an ad? I'll go home and eat three chapatis or rice. I do not have any other big needs. I see whether I can contribute to the happiness of people around me or I can say that the standards we have are wrong. This is the Indian colour. We can't go to foreigners and ask them why they're white, and if they know that they will get cancer because of it. That's their skin colour, and this is ours."

Sai Pallavi is one of the few actresses in the Indian cinema who appear onscreen with minimal makeup or no makeup at all. In her debut film, Premam, Sai Pallavi had worked without makeup in the entire film and had credited her film's director, Alphonse Puthren, for encouraging her to act confidently and believe in herself.
In her interview with The Times Of India, Sai Pallavi had revealed why she decided not to wear makeup in her films. The actress had opened up about her time in Georgia and how she covered herself from top to bottom to protect herself from acne. But after receiving so much love from the audience for her performance in Premam, Sai Pallavi got immensely confident in her skin, and the rest is history. In her words:
"I was one of those teenagers who felt horrible about having acne. I used to cover my face with a dupatta when I was in Georgia. It took Premam, and Alphonse, for me to realise that people love you for your character and the confidence with which you portray it. All the directors don't want me to wear makeup, too. I am happy if girls feel proud about themselves, their natural body image and consider me an inspiration. And yes, I'm not going to use makeup in the future, too."
While her illustrious professional life is an open book, Sai Pallavi prefers to keep her personal life private. Hence, there's hardly anything about her relationship on the internet and gossip columns. However, according to a report by Astro Ulagam, Sai Pallavi had once talked about her marriage plans in an old interview with South Indian actor, Suriya ahead of the release of her film, NGK.
Revealing the reason behind her decision not to marry anyone, the actress had clearly stated that if she would get married to someone, she would have to leave her parents, and it is something that she isn't capable of. Sai Pallavi had also added that she wants to take care of her parents and is not ready to leave them. That is why marriage and settling with someone for life is something she just can't think of at the moment.
Undoubtedly, South Indian actress, Sai Pallavi is one of the most humble Indian celebrities, but her way of approaching things and raising her voice against foul play in society deserves a huge applause. Before being an actress, she is a doting sister for many youngsters out there, who are trying their best to escape from the shackles of perfection.
