While the actress has made a massive name for herself in the South Indian cinema, Pallavi would have leaned towards a completely different profession if it wasn't for films. By training, Sai Pallavi is a doctor. The actress completed her MBBS studies from the Tbilisi State Medical University. The university is located in Georgia, Europe. Even though the Council of India gives recognition to the Tbilisi State Medical University, Pallavi did not register herself as a medical practitioner back home. Pallavi has also passed the Foreign Medical Graduate Examination (FMGE).

Meanwhile, in June 2022, 'Pushpa' director Sukumar had lauded Sai Pallavi at the pre-release event of the Sharwanand and Rashkima Mandanna-starrer 'Adavallu Meeku Johaarlu'.
"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", he added.
