[Hindu Post] Item song dance video at Mylapore temple in Chennai sparks controversy; dancers apologise after public outrage

A dance video featuring two dancers, Vignesh K Balan and a companion, at the Mylapore Kapaleeshwarar temple in Chennai sparked controversy. The performance was set to the song “Mylapore Mayile” from the movie Aai. The video went viral on social media platforms, leading to a strong backlash from believers who found the act of dancing wearing inappropriate clothing within the sacred temple premises inappropriate.

Critics directed their disapproval at the performers and the DMK Minister of Hindu Religious & Charitable Endowments department, PK Sekar Babu. The Indu Makkal Katchi declared its intention to file a complaint against the dancers involved in the video.

In response to the growing criticism, Vignesh K Balan issued a video clarification and apology. He explained that the video, shot at the Mylapore Kapaleeshwarar Temple in December, was posted on his social media accounts then. Expressing regret for any offence caused, he assured viewers that such instances would not occur in the future.
