**TIRUPATI, INDIA -** Actor and Jana Sena Party leader Pawan Kalyan has sparked controversy after making his daughter, Polena, sign a declaration of faith before entering the Tirumala Venkateswara Temple. This move comes just weeks after former Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy backed out of a planned visit to the temple due to pressure from the BJP and Hindutva groups, who demanded he sign a similar declaration.

Polena, who has Christian maternal roots, was accompanied by her father and sister Aadhya during the visit. Pawan’s decision to have his daughter sign the declaration has been interpreted by some as a strong message challenging the BJP’s stance on religious conversions and the significance of signing a declaration of faith before entering the temple.

This incident has reignited debate on the issue of religious conversions and the role of faith in public life. While some see Pawan’s actions as a bold statement of secularism, others view it as a move that could exacerbate religious tensions.

Pawan is scheduled to continue his pilgrimage with his daughters, visiting the Tirupati temple and holding a Varahi yatra before concluding his visit.
