Urvashi Rautela is no stranger to controversy. Her latest claim has sparked outrage among devotees and priests of Badrinath temple. The actress recently stated that there’s a temple in her name near Badrinath Dham in Uttarakhand. She said people worship there. This isn’t the first time she’s been in the news for a controversial statement. Her team has now come out with a statement, asking people to listen to her video carefully. They claim she never said people worship her. She said there’s a temple in her name, not that she’s worshipped there.
Her team pointed out a past incident where a ‘Damdami Mai’ was made in her name at Delhi University. There are news articles about this. They feel people misinterpreted her statement. They think legal action should be taken against those who spread misinformation about Urvashi. They believe facts should be checked before making accusations or disrespecting someone.
What Urvashi Said
Urvashi made this claim in an interview with Siddharth Kanan. When asked if there’s a temple in her name, she said yes. She also expressed a wish for a similar temple to be built in South India. The controversy escalated when priests from Badrinath Dham reacted strongly to her statement. Bhuvan Upreti, a former official of Badrinath Dham, said the ‘Urvashi temple’ is actually associated with Lord Shiva. He felt it was wrong to link the goddess Urvashi to herself.
Priests React
The priests of Badrinath Dham are upset. They think Urvashi’s statement was disrespectful. Amrit Sati, head of Brahmkapal Tirtha Purohit Samaj, has asked Urvashi to apologize. If she doesn’t, she’s ready to face the consequences. The community feels she hurt their religious feelings.
The situation is tense, and it’s unclear what will happen next. Urvashi’s team maintains that her words were misinterpreted. The controversy highlights the need for careful consideration of one’s words, especially when they involve religious or cultural sensitivities.
