Actress and politician Kangana Ranaut shared her views on the controversy regarding actress Sara Ali Khan’s submission of proof of faith to Sanatan. Kangana emphasized that Sara, like everyone else, should not hesitate to declare her belief in Sanatan if she intends to seek blessings at the Badrinath and Kedarnath temples. She highlighted the significance of being a Sanatani and suggested that Sara should have no issue in acknowledging her faith by submitting the required document.
The Badri-Kedar Temple Committee Chairman, Hemant Dwivedi, announced that all non-Hindu devotees seeking blessings at the temples will need to provide an affidavit affirming their belief in Hinduism. Dwivedi clarified that this requirement applies to all non-Hindus. He specifically mentioned that if Sara Ali Khan expresses her devotion to Sanatan Dharma and submits the necessary affidavit, she will be permitted to offer prayers at the temples.
Sara Ali Khan has established a strong spiritual connection with the Kedarnath Temple, frequently visiting the sacred site nestled in the Himalayas. Her bond with the temple dates back to her debut in Hindi cinema with the film ‘Kedarnath’ in 2017. Sara’s visits, often during the temple’s open season between April and November, involve traditional rituals and prayers. She engages in temple activities without any official role, showcasing her personal spiritual journey through social media posts capturing the serene surroundings and her moments of devotion.
The Kedarnath Temple, dedicated to Lord Shiva, holds immense religious significance as one of the twelve Jyotirlingas and a prominent pilgrimage destination in India. Sara’s consistent visits to the temple reflect a deep-rooted connection rather than mere occasional visits, symbolizing a blend of personal reverence and ongoing spiritual practice associated with her debut film location.
