Ranbir-Alia stopped from visiting temple
Actor Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt were stopped by members of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad and the Bajrang Dal from visiting Ujjain’s Mahakaleshwar temple.
The actors, along with filmmaker Ayan Mukerji, were scheduled to visit the temple for darshan ahead of the release of their latest fantasy epic Brahmastra. Members of the Hindu groups, however, staged protests against Ranbir’s old comments about enjoying beef, which recently resurfaced online, Indian Express reported.
Ranbir and Alia, who got married earlier this year, ultimately chose not to visit the temple amid protests with only Ayan entering the temple’s inner sanctum.
According to several reports, members of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad and the Bajrang Dal protested outside the Mahakaleshwar Temple after Ranbir’s earlier comments about enjoying beef resurfaced online. The protests were brought under control by the police. “We won’t allow them to worship at the holy Mahakaleshwar temple as a few days back Ranbir had said that he likes to eat mutton, chicken and beef in non-veg food,” Bajrang Dal leader Ankit Choube was quoted as saying by reporters at the venue..
Brahmastra, backed by Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions, is set to release on September 9 amid heavy calls to boycott the film by a section on social media. At the event in Delhi, Alia said she does not see the timing of the release clouded in negativity.
