A video of famous actress and dancer Sudha Chandran is being discussed on social media.

The video is going viral on social media.

As per reports, this is a video of Sudha Chandran participating in a religious ceremony called Mata Ki Chowki. Many people present at the function tried to calm down the actress, but to no avail. The sudden rush of fervour is believed to be due to an intense emotional change that occurred during the prayer. Some say that it is a parakaya entry related to devotion.
