Breaking News: Poonam Pandey’s Entry in Delhi’s Love Kush Ram Leela Sparks Controversy | ABP NEWS

Delhi’s iconic Lal Kila Maidan is witnessing heated controversy ahead of the Love Kush Ram Leela, which begins on September 22. The issue centers around actress Poonam Pandey, who is set to portray Mandodari, the wife of Ravan. Hindu organizations, led by Surendra Gupta of the Indraprastha Vishwa Hindu Parishad, have strongly opposed her participation, citing concerns over her past behavior and questioning her suitability for portraying a traditional Hindu character. Gupta emphasized the need for cultural sensitivity, urging organizers to choose actors who respect Indian values. However, Arjun Sinh, President of the Ram Leela Committee, defended Pandey, suggesting that playing such a role could bring a positive transformation in her life. Known for her controversial statements, Pandey’s involvement has ignited a fresh debate, leaving the Ram Leela Committee in a dilemma over how to proceed amid mounting protests.
