Samantha has not yet responded to the news of her temple; However, one can imagine the mixed emotions she might be feeling. While it’s certainly heartwarming to have such devoted fans, the concept of a temple dedicated to oneself is a bit bizarre. After all, the point of temples is to worship deities or religious figures. Isn’t it?

Samantha isn’t the only actor to get a temple dedicated to her, for several years actors like Rajnikanth, Nayanthara and Amitabh Bachchan, and more have had temples named after them.
