Daiva devotee Tammanna Shetty spoke to the media and said, “This goes completely against the rules of Daiva worship. There are strict rules even for offering harake. Calling it just ‘nema’ is wrong; it must be done as per Dharma rules.”

He further added angrily: “The dancer wore a shirt, put kadtale on his head, wore tatte – everything is forbidden in Daiva worship. Because Rishab Shetty had ‘dates’, they sidelined Kadri Manjunatha Daiva and performed this kola. This is totally wrong.”Arayna Women's Cotton Printed Floral Straight Kurta with Palazzo Pants and Dupatta

“Using Daiva worship just for film publicity is not right. People are slowly losing faith. If such drama continues, big trouble will come in future,” warned Tammanna Shetty.The storm of Yash’s ‘Toxic’ has begun! The blood-filled bathtub poster goes viral as just 100 days remain for release.
