Sadly the parents-to-be had to return without the holy darshan. The couple was promoting their upcoming movie Brahmastra in Ujjain when the incident took place.
Amid the controversy, Madhya Pradesh Home Minister, Narottam Mishra now spoke about the incident and said it was the actors’ call to not do the Darshan.
A latest Indian Express report quoted Mishra saying, “The Ujjain administration has briefed me about the entire episode. The couple was requested by the administration to go ahead with offering prayers.”
The Madhya Pradesh HM added that the security was ready and no one stopped Ranbir-Alia from entering the temple and performing the Puja but they changed their decision in the end.
“There was adequate security, but they decided on their own to not go there. No one stopped them. No one stopped them from offering prayers. They decided on their own not to go there. No one stopped them. All other members of the film crew, including director Ayan Mukerji, offered prayers at the temple. Actors should abstain from using words which insult people’s sentiments,” he explained.
