Tirupati: Newlywed Nayanthara and Vignesh Shivan got into legal trouble soon after their wedding in Chennai. The couple headed to Tirupati temple to seek blessing of the almighty but landed themselves in a soup after they reportedly entered the temple wearing footwear and doing photoshoots.
Now, the couple issued an apology and even sent an apology letter to the Tirumala Tirupathi Devasthanam board. In a long statement, the couple wrote, “After the wedding, we went straight to Tirupati temple without even going home and attended the wedding ceremony of Ezhumalayan. After that, a lot of people came out of the temple and surrounded us. So we left there and after a while, we came back in front of the Ezhumalayan temple.” In the ensuing commotion, we failed to notice that we were walking with shoes in the area where it was forbidden to wear shoes. We apologise for the inconvenience.”
According to Chief Vigilance Security officer, Tirumala Tirupati Desvasthanam Board, Narasimha Kishore, Nayanthara walked inside the temple wearing footwear. She was quoted as saying, “She is seen roaming with footwear in Mada Streets. Our security immediately reacted.
He also added, “we have also noticed on CCTV that they did a photoshoot there. We are serving notices to Nayanatara. We have also spoken to her and she wanted to release a video to press apologising to Lord Balaji, TTD and pilgrims. However, we are going to serve notices to her.”
