Tamil film director Vignesh Shivan tendered an open apology on Friday night and said that the couple had no disrespect towards Lord Venkateswara whom they revered with utmost devotion.
"It is with the same zeal that I and my wife, Nayanathara, drove straight to the temple from our marriage venue at Mahabalipuram to take part in the Kalyanotsavam of the deity without even going to our homes" he said.
The couple found themselves in a thick of controversy when a footage of them walking along the Mada Streets of the hill temple with footwear on went viral on Friday.
