As Sai Pallavi celebrates her special day with near and dear ones, once, Pushpa director Sukumar, at an event ceremony, praised the actress for a lot of reasons. 

"Sai Pallavi seems to be the Lady Pawan Kalyan, as I see people never stop adoring her", Sukumar said, as he indicated that Sai Pallavi has as much following as Pawan Kalyan has, in the Telugu states.

"I wanted to say this in person. But, now that I got a chance, here we go. To reject endorsements which promote fixated beauty standards shows what kind of a human you are. I appreciate you for that Sai Pallavi", Sukumar said.

Sai Pallavi, Keerthy Suresh, and Sukumar had attended the pre-release function of Sharwanand and Rashkima Mandanna-starrer 'Adavallu Meeku Johaarlu' as the guests when Pushpa director couldn't stop praising the lady.

Actress Sai Pallavi, who allured the audience as Rosie in 'Shyam Singha Roy', made headlines when she visited a crowded theatre in Hyderabad while wearing a 'burqa' to hide her identity. The 'Fidaa' actress wanted to witness the audience's reaction to her movie, hence she paid a secret visit to the theatre, where she sat with the audience.

A video was released, in which Sai Pallavi is seen entering the theatre wearing a 'burqa', as she sits along with the audience. The video also features her looking at the audience cheer during one of her dance performances in 'Shyam Singha Roy'. "Maam, how was the movie?", her team member asked on a witty note, as she walks out of the theatre after the screening.

Actress Madhoo, who stole people's hearts with her stellar performance in one of Mani Ratnam's classic blockbusters 'Roja', earlier shared that she is "the biggest fan of actress Sai Pallavi".

Taking to social media, Madhoo, who is better known as Madhu Bala, put out a video clip on Twitter and said: "Hi everyone, I saw 'Shyam Singha Roy' yesterday. It was the most amazing movie I've seen in recent times and I am the biggest, biggest fan of Sai Pallavi. She is just gorgeous. She is beautiful, so realistic. Such a fabulous dancer. Of course, Nani, the hero, was fantastic. What a movie! Lovely! All the best team."

Sai Pallavi was truly overwhelmed by the compliment coming in from the senior actress. She responded to Madhoo with a tweet: "I feel like I received a warm hug, I'm so overwhelmed. Thank you so much for the kind words, ma'am. Lots of love to you."

Sai Pallavi is one of the most celebrated actresses in Telugu, and has a great following among the folks. Happy birthday, Sai Pallavi!
