Who Is Sai Pallavi?

A superstar in South Indian cinema, Sai Pallavi has become known for her natural charm, expressive performances and strong female characters. But what many still find surprising is her background that she’s also a trained doctor. Born in Tamil Nadu and raised in Coimbatore, Sai Pallavi earned her MBBS degree from Tbilisi State Medical University in Georgia. “I never registered as a practicing doctor, but I studied medicine with all my heart,” she once shared in an interview. While she never wore a doctor’s coat professionally, the same discipline and dedication shaped her acting journey.
