"And it's a working progress always. It's a continuous process," the actress, who started her journey with television in supporting roles as she worked in Marathi series.

Sai is one of the few actresses who speaks her mind. The fact that she says "shift comes with maturity" is something every artist can relate to. Also, she was a state-level Kabaddi player and has an orange belt in karate — she's a go-getter! Hope to see her in more OTT projects.

I appreciate Sai's honesty but isn't this a bit vague? Every actor says they have "shifted with maturity" or they "want to do different stuff." Would love to know more specific examples — what roles she rejected and why. Still, she's a fine actress, no doubt. Matka King looks interesting!

Always admired Sai's work in Indian cinema. Her answer about not having a fixed criterion reflects a genuine artist's mindset — exploration over restriction. Plus, a kabaddi player and karate belt? She's a powerhouse! Matka King gives me serious 60s Bombay vibes. Can't wait.
