South Indian actress Amala Paul is one of the sorted-out actresses in Tamil, Malayalam, and Telugu. She got married to director AL Vijay in 2014 when she was at a peak of her career. After 3 years their marriage ended due to disagreements.
After that, Amala Paul acted in many films but did not have a big reach. On Monday, she went to Thiruvairanikulam Mahadeva Temple in Ernakulam, Kerala for darshan. Amala Paul being a Christian was not allowed to enter and refused darshan by temple authorities, citing customs that allow only Hindus inside the premises.
Amala Paul has alleged that the people there asked her to stand on the road in front of the temple and have darshan. Amala Paul has also shared her experience in the temple’s visitors register, saying that she felt the spirit even though she didn’t see the Goddess.
She wrote in the temple’s visitors register, “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,”
