Shivani Nagaram is a Hyderabad actress who became popular with movies like Ambajipeta Marriage Band and Little Hearts. She was also seen in the recent film Hey Balwanth. Her role as Katyani in Little Hearts gave her more recognition.
Recently she got into controversy after speaking in a YouTube interview about her visit to Tirumala temple.
Shivani said she received special treatment during darshan and spent about ten minutes inside the sanctum praying to Lord Venkateswara swamy. She also shared that her parents felt proud about it.
Her comments led to criticism, especially as TTD is already facing issues over the Laddu controversy.
Later, Shivani clarified that she did not get special privileges and had darshan through the Srivani ticket, which costs Rs. 10,500 and is available to anyone. Despite this, the issue created unexpected trouble for her.
