‘Punish the Guilty, Don’t Blame Lord Ram or the Temple’ -Anupam Kher

Anupam Kher has responded to the controversy surrounding the alleged theft of donations at the Ram Mandir, stating that those responsible should be identified and punished according to the law. Speaking in Ayodhya during the shoot of his upcoming film Shri Ram Bhoomi, the veteran actor described the incident as an isolated case and urged people not to associate the alleged crime with Sanatan Dharma, Lord Ram, or the temple itself.

Kher emphasized that the responsibility for any theft lies solely with the individual who committed the offence, not with the temple where devotees make offerings with faith and devotion. He appealed to the public not to defame the Ram Mandir over the alleged incident, saying donations are made selflessly and without expectations. His remarks have sparked widespread discussion on social media, with many debating accountability and the need for a transparent investigation into the allegations.
