The upcoming devotional project ‘Shri Ramayan Katha’ featuring social media sensation Anjali Arora has been making waves online for all the right and wrong reasons. While the project aims to bring the timeless epic to a new audience, it has stirred up a storm of mixed reactions across the internet.
One of the actors from the production recently opened up about a deeply moving experience during the shoot, revealing that people who saw him dressed in the iconic getup of Lord Ram actually touched his feet out of reverence and devotion. While the actor shared this as a humbling and spiritual moment, the statement quickly attracted a wave of trolling and mockery online, with many netizens questioning the authenticity and seriousness of the project.
The controversy does not stop there. Reports have also emerged that actor Dev Sharma, who is part of the Anjali Arora-fronted Ramayan project, had previously been offered roles in big-budget mythological productions including ‘Adipurush’ and another major Ramayana adaptation. However, he reportedly turned down those offers for specific reasons before eventually signing on to this production.
Meanwhile, Anjali Arora herself has been at the center of a separate debate. The social media star, widely known for her viral dance reels, faced significant trolling when she was cast as Sita in the project. Critics questioned whether someone known primarily for light-hearted content could do justice to such a sacred and revered character.
Addressing the backlash head-on, Anjali Arora responded with confidence, stating that she feels no shame or embarrassment about her past or her new role. She appeared to stand firmly by her decision to take on the character, urging people to wait and watch before passing judgment.
The project continues to generate buzz online, reflecting how mythology and modern celebrity culture often create a fascinating yet polarizing intersection in India’s entertainment landscape.
