Ramayana actor Ranbir Kapoor Feels Sai Pallavi Leaving MBBS For Acting Was ‘Bhagwan Ka Prescription’

Ranbir Kapoor and Sai Pallavi will appear on Amitabh Bachchan’s Kaun Banega Crorepati 18 to promote their upcoming film Ramayana. In a preview clip released by the broadcasters, Sai Pallavi’s decision to leave her medical studies and pursue acting became a talking point, prompting Ranbir to offer a playful explanation.

During the episode, Amitabh Bachchan asked Sai Pallavi, “You studied to become a doctor. And you ended up here. How?” The actor responded that her entry into cinema was perhaps destined to happen.

“That’s how God wrote it. It was written that I was supposed to act,” Sai Pallavi said.

As the audience cheered, Ranbir joined the conversation with a witty remark: “Bhagwan ka prescription tha Sir (God wrote in his prescription) that she has to act.”

Sai Pallavi studied medicine in Georgia before pursuing her acting career. She became widely known through Malayalam and Telugu films, building a reputation for performances in projects such as Premam, Fidaa and Gargi. Her transition from medical studies to cinema has remained an interesting part of her career story.
