Sai Pallavi breaks her silence on marriage rumours

Sai Pallavi's complete note read, "Honestly, I don’t care for Rumours but when it involves friends who are family, I have to speak up. An image from my film’s pooja ceremony was intentionally cropped and circulated with paid bots & disgusting intentions. 
When I have pleasant announcements to share on my work front, it’s disheartening to have to explain for all these jobless doings. 
To cause discomfort like this is purely vile!"
