Upcoming film 'Adipurush' director Om Raut sparked controversy when the filmmaker and actress Kriti Sanon were spotted at the Lord Venkateswara temple in Tirumala in Andhra Pradesh's Tirupati district for darshan on Wednesday (June 7).
The filmmaker was seen kissing Kriti Sanon on her cheek as he bid goodbye outside the temple premises.Several videos of the act have gone viral on social media, which didn’t go down well with a section of people.
BJP State Secretary Ramesh Naidu Nagothu took to his Twitter handle and called the gesture very disrespectful.
In a now-deleted tweet, Ramesh Naidu Nagothu wrote, “Is it really necessary to bring your antics to a sacred place? @kritisanon @omraut. Engage in public displays of affection, like kissing and hugging, in front of the Lord Venkateswara Swamy Temple in #Tirumala is deemed disrespectful and unacceptable."
The head priest of Telengana's Chilkur Balaji Temple too reacted and said, "This is a condemnable act. Even a husband and wife do not go there (temple) together. You can go to a hotel room and do it. Your behavior is like insulting Ramayan and Goddess Sita."
