South Indian actress Amala Paul allegedly stated that she was refused entry in the Thiruvairanikulam Mahadeva temple in Kerala.
The actress claimed that her entry in the temple was barred and that she was discriminated because of her religion. She said that she was refused to enter the premises of the temple quoted under the customs that only Hindus are allowed inside. She then helpless, offered her prayers to the Hindu’s God from outside on the road.
The actress did not give any public statement regarding the incident but has shared her experience in the temple’s visitors’ book.
She said "Felt the spirit even though she didn't see the Goddess. It is sad and disappointing that religious discrimination still exists in 2023. I couldn't go near the Goddess but could feel the spirit from a distance. I hope there will be a change in religious discrimination soon. The time will come and we all will be treated equally and not on the basis of religion."
The temple management and administration stated the existing protocols for refusing Amala for entry. They said that they were only following the temple customs. "Many devotees of other religions have come to visit the temple, but no one knows that. However, when a celebrity comes, it becomes controversial," said the management official.
The Cadaver actress Paul is a hugely popular actress in the South Indian film industry with successful hits in Malayalam, Tamil and Telugu.
