Protest against Sneha

Sneha is caught in a controversy that is snowballing into a major religious issue. The actress has visited the Thiruvannamalai Temple and also participated in the Girivalam that the temple is famous for. The girivalam is a 14 km walk around the temple. Apparently, as per the religious faith and temple rules, the devotees are to walk the entire stretch barefoot. However, the actress, said to be suffering from a leg ailment, has been advised by her doctors to use a slipper at all times. Due to this, the actress was seen walking with her slippers on during the Girivalam. According to Sneha, she uses a special slipper made of cloth while visiting the temples and she had done so during the girivalam.

A religious group Hanuman Sena has taken offense to this and has held several protests in Vellore.
