There is a kind of ritual in the entertainment industry that before the release of Hindi films, a whole team works to ensure that the stars reach religious places in a planned manner, share their photos and videos on social media, and then send the links of these photos and videos to the media in time. This all is a part of the PR of the concerned star. Daughter of Nawab of Pataudi, Saif Ali Khan’s daughter Sara Ali Khan also thinks of visiting the Jyotirlinga for the same purpose.

Sara also goes to the sanctum sanctorum of every Jyotrilinga she visits, whereas non-Hindus are prohibited from entering the sanctum sanctorum. But, this time when Sara went to the Mallikarjuna temple, she was not allowed to enter the sanctum sanctorum. She visited Mahakal Temple in Ujjain almost every time before the release of her film and has reached the sanctum sanctorum of this temple as well but let us tell you that the entry of non-Hindus to the sanctum sanctorum of the temple has been prohibited.

The strictest rules regarding non-Hindus in the country are of Puri’s Jagannath Temple, where non-Hindus are turned away from the entrance. This rule applies to everyone and you will be amazed to know that even the then Prime Minister of India, Indira Gandhi has been stopped from entering the temple. But, Sara Ali Khan, who has given her name as Sara Sultan on her passport, has never hidden her love for Hindu gods and goddesses.

People close to Sara say that her religion is written as Muslim even in government documents. And, due to this, Sara, who reached Mallikarjuna on New Year, was stopped from entering the temple. Let us tell you that the 10th film of Sara Ali Khan’s career ‘Skyforce’ is going to be released next week. However, she is being kept away from the promotion of this film and the entire focus of the film is being kept only on its star Akshay Kumar and Veer Pahadia, grandson of former Maharashtra Chief Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde.
