And the latest one to join the list is Nidhhi Agerwal.

Now, let's take a look at the list of actresses for whom temples have been built by their fans:

Khushboo Sunder

Khushboo made her debut with a Tamil film ( Dharmathin Thalaivan) in 1988 and from then she acted in numerous south films and later shot to fame. It is believed that Khushboo Sunder was the first-ever actress in Kollywood to have a Temple built in her name by her fans. Anyhow it didn't stand long, due to her controversial speech on premarital sex.

Namitha

Namitha was born on May 10, 1981, in the Indian state of Gujarat and the actress predominantly works in three major languages Tamil, Telugu, and Kannada.  In 2008 when she reached the pinnacle of her career, a Namitha devotee built her a temple in Tamil Nadu marking the second such temple for an actress after Khushboo.

Hansika Motwani

Hansika Motwani has been active in the film industry for the past 10+ years. When Hansika stepped into the Kollywood industry, with the film Padikathavan, people started comparing her to actress Khushbu Sundar. And at one point she was one of the most Wanted heroines. That's when her fans planned to set up a temple in Madurai. But she opposed the idea, and missed a chance of creating history after Khusbhoo and Namitha.

Nayantara

Few years back there was a buzz that a temple would be constructed for the Lady Superstar Nayanthara. And when fans approached the Dora actress for her nod to build the temple. She kindly said no to their warm gesture. Interestingly, last year she played the goddess in a Tamil film titled Mookuthi Amman.
