Kartik Aaryan Faces Backlash for Worshipping Sai Baba Amid Varanasi Temple Controversy
"Actor Criticized on Social Media for Featuring Sai Baba Idol in Home Temple Ahead of *Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3* Trailer Launch"

Currently, Sai Baba’s name is making headlines, particularly around the controversy regarding the removal of his idol from temples in Varanasi. Amidst this, Bollywood actor Kartik Aaryan shared some recent pictures on social media, where the Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 actor is seen performing prayers at his home temple.
In Kartik’s home temple, idols of Sai Baba and Lord Shiva are placed. However, the presence of Sai Baba’s idol caught the attention of users, leading to a surge of online criticism, with many giving Kartik a lesson on religion.

Kartik Aaryan Faces Backlash
The trailer for Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is set to launch today, and before its release, Kartik offered prayers for the success of his upcoming movie. He shared the photos on his official X handle, but this post quickly became a source of trouble for him.
One user commented on his post, saying, “Bro, Sai Baba’s idol has been removed.” Another wrote, “Kartik, we respect your faith, but in my opinion, placing Sai Baba’s idol equal to or above God’s in a temple may be inappropriate. People have faith in Sai Baba, and we respect that faith, but he is not on par with our deities. He is a child of God, not God himself.”
Another user added, “There are millions of deities in Hinduism—worship them. Why worship a saint?” Many others echoed similar sentiments, criticizing Kartik Aaryan for worshipping Sai Baba.
Fans are highly excited about the horror-comedy Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3. The movie is set to release in theaters this Diwali.
