Bollywood actress Sara Ali Khan must prove her belief in Hinduism to visit Hindu temples, sparking debate over religious access.

Bollywood actress Sara Ali Khan has been told she must submit an affidavit affirming her faith in Sanatan Dharma to visit the Badrinath and Kedarnath temples, according to the Badri-Kedar Temple Committee chairman. The committee says non-Hindus seeking darshan must now provide proof of belief in Hinduism, a policy reportedly aimed at preserving the religious character of the sites. Sara, who has visited Kedarnath annually since her 2017 film debut, maintains a personal spiritual connection with the shrine. The requirement has sparked discussion about religious access, though no official confirmation of the policy’s implementation has been released.
