Bollywood actress Urvashi Rautela is in trouble after her comments on a temple she has built to herself near the Badrinath temple in Uttarakhand raised general outcry. It has been an open outcry with everyone asking what the intentions of the actor were.

The controversy unfolds

Rautela's team has released a statement attempting to clarify her words. The team stated that Rautela was referring to another context when she referred to the temple. However, the temple priest and locals have refuted her claims, clarifying that the Urvashi Temple is actually a holy temple venerating Goddess Sati.

Backlash from locals

The locals as well as the temple priest have called for an apology and a legal action against Rautela. They accused her of her statement being false and offensive and that she had abused the name of the temple for her own interests. Bhuwan Chandra Uniyal, a former religious officer of Badrinath Dham, has also criticized Rautela's statement, alleging that the temple enjoys a profound spiritual relationship with the local people.

Rautela's team responds

Rautela's team have warned to take such people to court who they blame for publishing misinformation about the actor. They have also urged the public to verify facts before bringing accusations or insults about anyone.

The debate continues

Some have defended the actress, while others have criticized her for apparently trying to get attention and publicity. The incident also serves to highlight the importance of being careful with words and actions, especially in the case of sensitive matters.
