Rakul Preet Singh, who plays Shurpanakha in Nitesh Tiwari and Namit Malhotra's magnum opus, 'Ramayana Part 1', responded to a fan's heartfelt letter on X (previously Twitter), revealing that the character's complexity was exactly what drew her to the role. The actress said she hopes audiences approach Shurpanakha's story with an open mind when the film releases, amid continued buzz around the 'Ramayana: The Introduction' trailer which dropped last week at Brahma Mahurat on July 30, 2026.
