Bigg Boss OTT 3 Star Sai Ketan Rao Says No To Shooting In Turkey
Last Updated: Sai Ketan Rao was supposed to shoot a 'beautiful music album' in Turkey, but he declined due to the ongoing boycott trend of Turkey and Azerbaijan. Television actor Sai Ketan Rao conveyed to his fans that he is choosing his 'identity" as an Indian before art. Amid the ongoing tensions between India and Pakistan, with Turkey and Azerbaijan openly supporting the latter, the actor made the bold decision to turn down a promising project whose shoot was scheduled to take place in Turkey. Taking to his Instagram, Sai explained his decision to his lakhs of followers, saying that he couldn't proceed with a project in a country that stands against India's interests. He stated, 'You know, sometimes in life, the choices we make go beyond contracts, careers, or even personal gain." Sai revealed that he was offered a beautiful music album, which was scheduled to be shot in Turkey. He added, 'It was tempting. Great exposure, an amazing team, picturesque locations… everything an artist could ask for. But I DECLINED!!!!!!!" Referring to the tension between India and Pakistan, with Turkey backing Pakistan following Operation Sindoor, where the Indian Armed Forces launched counter-terror attacks on Pakistan, Sai explained, 'Because there comes a moment when art must take a step back, and identity must step forward." He added, 'At this very moment, my nation – India – is facing tension, conflict, and pain. And Turkey, as we all know, is openly supporting the other side-Pakistan. How could I, in good conscience, go and work on their soil, smile for the cameras, and pretend it's just 'another job'? No." The actor continued, 'Because, for me, it's not just about the work. It's about where I stand. And I stand with my country. This isn't about hate – it's about loyalty. This isn't about politics – it's about principles." Towards the end of his long note, Sai reiterated his love for his country before his art, saying, 'There will be many projects, web shows, songs, movies etc., But my nation is first. My integrity is one. And when the world watches, I want them to see one thing clearly – that I chose to stand with India. Even in silence, even in sacrifice – this was my loudest performance yet. JAI HIND!!" Sai Ketan Rao is best known for his roles in TV shows like Mehndi Hai Rachne Waali, Chashni and Imlie. Besides, he appeared on the reality TV show Bigg Boss OTT Season 3 and became one of the top four finalists. First Published:
