Urvashi Rautela recently faced significant backlash due to a remark she made during an interview, in which she claimed there is a temple named after her in Uttarakhand. This statement prompted swift condemnation from social media users and religious leaders, who accused her of making inappropriate assertions. In her discussion with Siddharth Kannan, she remarked, “There is a temple in my name in Uttarakhand.
If one visits Badrinath, there is a ‘Urvashi temple’ right next to it.” Her comments were met with strong disapproval from local residents and priests who hold the temple in high regard. Many expressed their dissatisfaction and called for official action, alleging that the actress had disrespected religious sentiments. In response to the uproar, Urvashi’s team released an official statement to clarify her remarks. The statement noted, “Urvashi Rautela mentioned that there is a temple in my name in Uttarakhand, not a temple dedicated to Urvashi Rautela.
People are not listening carefully; upon hearing ‘Urvashi’ or ‘temple,’ they jumped to the conclusion that worship is directed towards Urvashi Rautela. Please listen to the video attentively before commenting (sic).” She also encouraged the public and media to verify facts before forming opinions. “It is crucial that before making unfounded accusations or negative remarks about anyone, the facts are thoroughly checked. Everyone in society should engage with one another respectfully and with understanding to ensure the protection of everyone’s rights.”
