“According to me, God doesn’t see any difference between men and women. No God said that he should come to my temple and she shouldn’t. It all created by us, human beings. Tell me which got made such claim?? Is there any God who put restrictions on whom to enter their premises??” the actress asked.

“Not only Sabarimala, any other God or Goddess will not be upset if menstruating women enter the sacred place. “God never prohibited menstruating women entering entering any temple premises and it is man made restrictions. They have nothing to do with God” she further said.
