Some actresses are prone to controversy, at the drop of a hat it seems. If it is Khushboo in Kollywood, in Malayalam cinema, Meera Jasmine takes the cake for being most vulnerable to controversy.
The raging controversy Meera finds herself embroiled in is over her visit to Raja Rajeswari temple, which is out of bounds for non-Hindus.
However, Meera, a Christian by birth, managed to offer prayers and a special pooja to ward off evil, at the temple on June 29 night.
Needless to say, the visit became known and touched off a raging controversy with Hindu organisations and temple authorities screaming blue murder over the issue.
An unfazed Meera however defended her visit to the temple, saying that she has done no wrong by visiting the temple. She also added that she believes in worshipping all gods.
Under pressure to do something, the temple authorities conducted purificatory pujas and slapped a fine of Rs 10, 000 on Meera.
Now that the actress has quietly paid the fine, one hopes the gale of controversy would blow over. Or will it?
