TTD seeks legal action over birthday celebrations in Tirumala

The Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) has lodged a police complaint seeking legal action against Bigg Boss fame Tanuja and Divvela Madhuri for allegedly celebrating a birthday in Tirumala.

As part of Tanuja’s birthday celebrations, a cake was reportedly sourced up to the hill town from Tirupati and a video of the revelry was also subsequently posted on social media.

In a handout issued on Friday, the TTD PRO department took strong exception to the incident, terming it highly inappropriate and in violation of established norms. It asserted that such acts are strictly prohibited atop the sacred shrine.

The statement also said the TTD Vigilance Department had already filed a complaint with the police seeking legal action against the individuals and that an investigation was under way.

Notably, MLC Duvvada Srinivas reached Tirumala on Thursday along with Madhuri and Tanuja for darshan. The MLC couple had earlier courted controversy over an alleged photo shoot in front of the hill temple
