Urvashi Rautela Speaks Up About the Temple Controversy: “People Are Not Even Listening Properly”

Eyewitness Video That Gave Rise to Outrage and Confusion

Urvashi Rautela is another actress in Bollywood whose comments went viral and were shared on social media. She mentioned a temple located near Badrinath in Uttarakhand, which she claimed was named after her. This statement lit the Internet with plenty of users making fun of her and accusing her of arrogance. Some even went to the extent of saying that she should be sued for misleading the public and hurting the religious sentiments.

Urvashi Said,” The Media Twisted My Words.”

For the first time since this uproar, Urvashi has made a statement. Her comments were actually out of context; this was revealed by her own statements during the press conference.

She clarified that she never claimed the temple belonged to her—she simply mentioned that there’s a temple in Uttarakhand that shares her name. She then accused the media of twisting her words and claimed that many had reacted to her comments without listening to the full interview.

Her words were, “People just heard the words ‘Urvashi’ and ‘temple’ and assumed that I’m saying people worship me. Don’t rush to judge—listen to the complete video first.

Responsible Journalism is Important

Urvashi’s team also issued a long statement asking for responsible journalism on the part of the media. They insisted on fact-checking that is done before any information or negative comments are published. The statement further pointed out that a serious injury is done to someone’s reputation by throwing arbitrary charges around
without grasping the entire context.

“It is necessary for everyone not to lose track of consideration for other people and to have regard for the dignity and rights of all in the common society.”

What Happened in the Interview

The clip, which is now going viral, shows Urvashi being interviewed by Siddharth Kannan. The actress nonetheless casually mentioned that “If you go to Badrinath, you will find a temple named Urvashi nearby.” When the host asked if they seek blessings from her there, she laughed and said, “That’s what temples are meant for” While light-hearted banter, the internet took it from there.

Closing Remarks

This incident shows that what goes viral online isn’t always true. Urvashi Rautela’s point shows the need to listen entirely, report accurately, and rationally think before reacting to what comes on the online platform.
