Popular Indian actress Nayanthara issued an apology on Thursday following the controversy surrounding her recent film Annapoorani: The Goddess of Food. The apology comes in the wake of allegations that the film hurt religious sentiments, disrespected Hindu deities, and promoted “love jihad”.
The controversy escalated after a First Information Report (FIR) was filed against the film, prompting its removal from the OTT platform Netflix.
In her Instagram post, Nayanthara expressed regret, stating, “In our sincere attempt to share a positive message, we may have inadvertently caused hurt. We did not expect the removal of a censored film, previously showcased in theatres, from the OTT platform. My team and I never intended to hurt anyone’s sentiments, and we understand the gravity of this issue.”
The actress, known for her frequent visits to temples and her deep belief in God, added, “Being someone who wholly believes in God and frequently visits temples across the country, it is the last thing I would intentionally do. To those whose feelings we’ve touched, I extend my sincere and heartfelt apologies.”
