And Sai Pallavi ma’am told about her preferences (modest, not traditional, don’t over-exaggerate) in movies, not personal life. Everyone can do what they feel is right. You have no right to ask. It’s their choice. Even in personal life she is simple and modest only. And we respect her for the person she is!!
