Tollywood actress Hema visited the Tirumala temple on Friday to offer prayers to Lord Venkateswara Swamy. Previously implicated in the Bengaluru rave party case, Hema initially denied any involvement. However, City Crime Control Bureau officials presented evidence of her participation in the rave party, leading to her interrogation and subsequent arrest. She was later released on bail.
During her temple visit, Hema interacted with the media after darshan, stating that the darshan went well. When questioned about the recent rave party issue, she responded sarcastically, saying that the media had written many articles about it and were well-informed on the matter. A video of this conversation has gone viral on social media, with netizens reacting in various ways to her first public appearance since the arrest.
Notably, Hema was seen in a new appearance, adorned with a beads garland around her neck and hand, prompting comments suggesting an increase in her devotion following the arrest.
