Shivani Nagaram Clearing the Air on the 15 Minute Darshan Controversy

Actress Shivani Nagaram has addressed the controversy surrounding her comments on having a 15-minute darshan of Tirumala Srivari. In a recent YouTube interview, Shivani mentioned having a 15-minute darshan, which led to speculation and criticism on social media. She has now clarified that her comments were misunderstood and she didn't receive any special treatment.

Shivani explained that she visited Tirumala with her mother in October 2025 and purchased Srivani Break Darshanam tickets worth Rs. 10,500. She showed the ticket receipt as evidence and stated that the 15-minute time frame referred to the time spent in the queue, not the actual darshan time. Shivani emphasized that she had a close darshan of the Lord after 13 years and felt grateful for the experience.

The actress clarified that she didn't receive any VIP protocol and had darshan like an ordinary devotee. Anyone who donates to the Srivani Trust can avail this darshan facility. Shivani expressed happiness about her experience and shared it genuinely, but is now providing this explanation due to the misunderstanding.

Shivani Nagaram is known for her roles in films like 'Ambajipeta Marriage Band',  'Little Hearts' and 'Hey Balwanth'. Her comments had sparked debate on social media, but she has now set the record straight.
