Being someone who solely believes in God and frequently visits the temples across the country, it is the last thing I would intentionally do. To those whose feelings we’ve touched, I extend my sincere and heartfelt apologies. The intention behind Annapoorani was to uplift and inspire, not to cause distress.”
