Andhra Pradesh's Tourism and Sports Minister R.K. Roja engages in a game of Kabaddi with engineering students in Kakinada, actively participating in the sport. During her lively participation, she skillfully demonstrates her Kabaddi prowess and is seen tagging opponents. Roja's deep familiarity with Kabaddi is truly noteworthy, motivating her to join the players and provide support. She fondly recalls her love for Kabaddi since her school days.However, her visit to the Lord Venkateswara temple in Tirumala two weeks ago stirred controversy. Tirumala is renowned for its strict adherence to rules and regulations aimed at preserving the temple's sanctity. During her visit, Roja's personal photographer, Steyn, wore religious accessories associated with a different faith, leading to controversy and criticism.The incident garnered widespread criticism directed at the actor-turned-politician. In the 1990s, Roja was among the leading actresses in South India.
