At a time when the entire world is choosing to stay at home, Sara was seen roaming around the streets of Varanasi, clearly breaking protocol and avoiding all heath advisory, risking not only herself but millions of others. But that's not the only problem with her visit to temple Kashi Vishwanath. The Kashi Vikas Samiti has raised an objection stating that they did not approve of her visit as she is a ¡®non-Hindu.¡¯
Chandra Shekhar Kapoor, the secretary of the Samiti, said, "The actor's visit to the temple is against traditions and established norms. It also raises questions on the security of the temple when there is a signboard clearly stating that the entry of ''non-Hindus'' is prohibited."
Not just the Kashi Vikas Samiti but the local pandits are totally enraged at how Sara Ali Khan herself could come to visit the temple.
"Though we appreciate her interest in the Hindu religion but the fact remains that she is a Muslim and should not have participated in the rituals. For her, all this could be ''interesting and exciting'' but for us, it is a matter of religious piety," said Rakesh Mishra, a priest told IANS. He concluded by saying that Sara would be known by the religion of her father, Saif Ali Khan, who is a Muslim.
Do you think these objections are justified considering Sara Ali Khan's mother, Amrita Singh is a devout Hindu? We'll have to wait for a statement from Sara to these objections herself.
