Om Raut Kissing Kriti Sanon Outside Tirumala Temple Ignites Controversy

After spectacular event of Adipurush last night in Tirupathi, with the entire team comprising Prabhas, Kriti Sanon, Sunny Singh, Om Raut releasing the final trailer of the film, Om Raut and Kriti Sanon visited Tirumala to seek blessings of Lord Venkateshwara Swamy. However, controversy erupted after Om Raut was seen kissing Kriti goodbye outside the temple premises.

On Wednesday, director Om Raut and Kriti Sanon were spotted at Lord Venkateswara temple in Tirumala for darshan. In a video that is now going viral, the filmmaker can be seen kissing Kriti on her cheek as he bid her goodbye. This didn’t go down well with a section of netizens taking offence at the public display of affection at the Temple premises of Tirumala which is considered as the most sacred place for Hindus. 

After having a darshan, the two hugged each other and Raut was seen kissing Kriti goodbye as she left in her car. It seems momentarily without any intention of disgracing. But, one should be aware while acting at such holy places which would hurt sentiments of many people. 

Later, about his visit to the temple, director Om Raut said, "After coming to the temple, I feel extremely amazing. It felt nice. We had a great darshan today morning. Yesterday, we put out the trailer. It's a mesmerising feeling and I cannot put it into words."
