Jyothika Faces Backlash for Kollur and Tirupati Temple Visit!

Jyothika and Surya, the golden couple of Tamil cinema, have long been known for their quiet, controversy-free lives, much like two serene lakes untouched by the storm. However, of late, the waters around Jyothika’s public persona have begun to ripple. Her recent temple visits, from the Mookambika Amma temple in Kollur to Lord Venkateswara Swamy’s shrine in Tirumala, have raised eyebrows. It’s as if the actress, once known for her low-key presence, has become the subject of an unexpected pilgrimage that has drawn not just devotees, but critics.

Her devotion to these temples might seem at odds with her past comments at a 2020 award function, where she controversially stated that money spent on temples would be better used for hospitals and schools. That remark had sparked an outcry, particularly among Hindu communities, for undermining the value of religious practices. Fast forward to today, and Jyothika’s temple visits have made waves online, with some netizens dredging up her old statements and questioning the sincerity of her newfound devotion.

The timing of her spiritual journey has also raised suspicions. With Surya’s recent film Kanguva suffering a massive box-office flop, some are connecting the dots between the actor’s misfortune and the couple’s temple run. “Is this karma catching up?” many have speculated. With Jyothika’s public shift from criticism of religious spending to frequent visits to sacred sites, it seems that not even the most well-intentioned acts can escape the scrutiny of social media.

While it’s difficult to know whether these temple visits are a response to recent events or simply a personal journey, one thing is clear: Jyothika and Surya’s trip to the temples has left fans, critics, and netizens alike guessing. Maybe next, they’ll visit a temple dedicated to perfect timing—because, as the saying goes, even karma has a funny way of making an entrance.
