'Ramayana' actor explains why Sai Pallavi's Sita wields sword amid backlash

Indira Krishnan, who played 'Kaushalya' in 'Ramayana', revealed that she also couldn't connect with scene showing Goddess Sita, played by Sai Pallavi, wielding sword as she had never seen Sita portrayed as warrior. "The makers wanted to portray that Sita isn’t weak...She belonged to family of warriors who ensured that girl child learned art of wielding a sword," she said.
