Reportedly, this decision was imposed on her by her to-be father-in-law Amitabh Bachchan because Aishwarya is supposedly a Manglik, which is believed to be inauspicious for her looming marriage.
Shruti Singh, the lawyer says that Aishwarya's actions only promote untouchability, an existing social evil in the country. It is in violation of Article 17 of the Constitution, which prohibits untouchability, also violating fundamental human rights.
Singh went on to saying that the rituals performed by Aishwarya, Amitabh and Abhishek would only promote superstitions and blind faith among common people. She has requested a ban of such practices at temples in Bihar including Shitla temple in Patna, Baikatpur temple near Fatuha and the Shiva temple at Deoghar.
Shruti has also demanded a public apology from the Bachchan family for promoting superstitious acts like these.
