Newlyweds Nayanthara and Vignesh Shivan’s visit to the Tirumala temple had drawn criticism after the actress walked in slippers and posed for photos on Mada Street surrounding the holy shrine.
As the couple is receiving a severe backlash from many people, the filmmaker has now responded to this incident and apologized for the same.
In a note shared by Vignesh Shivan, he wrote, “We sincerely apologize to those who we could have offended and we mean no disrespect to the lord who we love. We are grateful for the love and wishes we have received from everyone for our special day, and we hope you continue to shower us with only the positivity we need from you.”
Explaining what happened there, the director wrote, “We had a wonderful darshan and wanted to click a picture outside the temple to have this day in our memory and to feel like the wedding got completed here, as per our wish but due to the crowd and chaos we had to exit the premises and re-enter at a time when there was a lesser commotion. In the hurry for a quick picture, we did not realize we had our footwear on when we got back later for the quick picture outside the temple. We are a couple who go to temples regularly and have immense faith in God. We have been to Thirumala almost 5 times in the past 30 days trying to do our wedding there!”
Vignesh Shivan and Nayanthara tied the knot on June 9 in Chennai.
