The controversy surrounding actress Urvashi Rautela has taken a new turn after her claims about a temple being built in her name in Uttarakhand’s Badrinath sparked widespread outrage. Bigg Boss 13 star Rashmi Desai has now weighed in on the issue, slamming Urvashi for spreading false information and making fun of the Hindu religion.
Rashmi took to Instagram to share her thoughts on the matter, saying people aren’t taking action against such nonsense, and the Hindu religion is being ridiculed in India. “Sadly, people are playing with religion,” she added. The backlash against Urvashi began when priests and locals from Badrinath criticized her for claiming that a temple in her name existed within a kilometer of the sacred site. They accused her of spreading misinformation.
Urvashi’s original claim
During an interview with Sidharth Kannan, Urvashi had stated that there was a temple in Uttarakhand bearing her name, located near Badrinath, where people would offer prayers. She also claimed that a similar “temple” existed at Delhi University, where her photo was worshipped by students. The former Miss Universe India contestant had said that people would offer flowers, garlands, and even Prasad at these makeshift shrines.
Urvashi’s team fires back
Urvashi’s team has since released an official statement defending her comments. They clarified that she never said there was a temple dedicated to her, but rather that there was a temple with her name. They urged people to listen to the original video before jumping to conclusions. The statement also referenced a news article about a “Damami Mai” idol at Delhi University, where Urvashi’s photo was allegedly worshipped. Urvashi’s team has threatened legal action against those who they believe have made baseless accusations against her. They stressed the importance of verifying facts before making public statements and called for mutual respect in society.
Key points from Urvashi’s team:
- Urvashi never claimed there was a temple dedicated to her.
- A temple with her name exists in Uttarakhand.
- There’s evidence of her photo being worshipped at Delhi University.
- They’ll take legal action against those making false accusations.
The controversy has sparked a heated debate on social media, with many questioning Urvashi’s intentions behind making such claims. As the drama unfolds, fans and critics alike are eagerly following the developments, wondering what’s next for the actress at the center of the storm.
