Actor Kangana Ranaut has reacted to the Badri-Kedar Temple Committee's chairman Hemant Dwivedi stating that Sara Ali Khan must submit proof of faith to enter temple premises. Kangana called Sara a Sanatani and stated that she shouldn’t have an issue filing the affidavit.
Kangana was asked about the BKTC chairman Hemant’s comment and she replied, “Sab Sanatani hai. Yahan pe jo bhi hai, sab Sanatani hai. Kyunki hamara jab janam hua hai..Sanatan matlab jiska naa aadi hai na ant. Sare religion hazaar, pandra sau saal puraane hai. Sanatan hi hai jo satya hai. To vo bhi Sanatani hi hai. Ab unko satya likhne mai kya ghabrahat? Likh dijiye.”
She questioned why Sara would have to fear writing the truth. The Kedarnath committee had stated that non-Hindus must submit an affidavit and sign a written declaration of being a Sanatani and believing in Hindutva to enter the temples of Badrinath and Kedarnath.
