Urvashi Rautela Claims She Has a Temple in Her Name – Netizens Divided!
Bollywood actress and model Urvashi Rautela is once again making headlines—but this time not for a glamorous red carpet appearance or a fashion statement. The actress has claimed that a temple has been built in her name in Uttarakhand, right next to the famous Badrinath Temple. Yes, you read that right! According to Urvashi Rautela, not only does this temple exist, but students also worship her and offer garlands to her photo. The internet has since exploded with mixed reactions.
“I Am Being Serious About It” – Urvashi’s Big Reveal
In a recent interview, Urvashi Rautela dropped the bombshell, saying: “There is a temple in my name in Uttarakhand. If one visits Badrinath, there is an ‘Urvashi temple’ right next to it.” She further claimed that students at Delhi University garland her pictures and call her “Damdamamai.”
“I am being serious about it. It is true. There are news articles about the same too. You can read them. There is a temple in my name and people pray there. Now I want a temple in South India as well,” the actress added confidently.
Social Media Reacts: From Devotion to Doubts
Urvashi Rautela’s statement sparked a wildfire of reactions across social media. While some fans admired her spiritual aura and cultural significance, others labeled it a publicity stunt. Memes flooded Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook, with netizens debating whether such a temple truly exists or whether this is just another attention-seeking moment.
Several users supported her, praising the idea of fans idolizing her to such an extent. Others demanded proof, questioning why no such temple has ever been mentioned in the media until now if it actually existed near a holy site like Badrinath.
Spiritual or Strategic? A Look at Urvashi Rautela’s Religious Persona
It’s not the first time Urvashi Rautela has shown a deep spiritual side. She has often been spotted visiting temples, including the Tapkeshwar Mahadev Temple and Ram Mandir in Ayodhya. Her temple tours, especially before film releases or personal milestones, have been captured by paparazzi multiple times.
This may very well be an extension of that spiritual image—or perhaps a strategic move to create a buzz and stay relevant in an ever-competitive Bollywood industry. Either way, the claim has put Urvashi back into the media spotlight.
Uttarakhand Locals Remain Silent
Interestingly, there hasn’t been much confirmation from locals in Badrinath or tourism boards about the existence of this alleged ‘Urvashi Temple.’ While legends of an apsara named Urvashi are deeply rooted in Hindu mythology and associated with the Badrinath region, the claim that a modern-day actress has a temple in her name right beside the holy site has raised many eyebrows.
Who is “Damdamamai” Anyway?
The term “Damdamamai” used by Urvashi seems to have caught on among her fan base, particularly students. While it’s unclear where the nickname originated, her use of it in the context of being worshipped adds an almost divine flair to her persona—something Bollywood has seen in the past with actors like Rajinikanth and Amitabh Bachchan being revered in temples. Is Urvashi next in line?
Urvashi’s Growing Influence Beyond Films
Known for representing India in international beauty pageants, starring in music videos, and acting in Bollywood and South Indian films, Urvashi has steadily built a global fan base. Her brand endorsements, glamorous image, and off-screen persona have earned her a spot among the most-followed Indian actresses on Instagram.
With such influence, it wouldn’t be shocking if fans did build a shrine or temple to express their admiration. After all, we live in a country where cricket bats, film posters, and even mobile phones are blessed at temples before use!
