Actress and BJP state executive member Namitha Vankawala on Monday accused Meenakshi Amman temple staffers of mistreating her. She, along with her husband Veerendra Chowdhary recently visited the famous temple in Madurai. However, they faced an unpleasant situation which involved authorities questioning their faith and asking them proof for the same. 

Namitha expressed her frustration through a social media post stating that she and her husband had been questioned about their religion despite identifying themselves as Hindus. In her post, she alleged that a temple official came up to her and asked if she were a Hindu. They also asked her to show proof for the same.
