Chennai, July 10 (IANS): A temple dedicated to popular south Indian actress Namitha is being built in Tamil Nadu's Tirunelveli district and she is "thrilled and scared."

"I am both thrilled and scared because I find a temple built in honour of a living person - especially me - a little difficult to come to terms with," said Namitha, who gave hits like Engal Anna and Arjuna Arjuna in Tamil.

"The initial works are completed. Soon, the stone icon of Namitha will be installed and consecration done," said S. Selvam, secretary of her fan club.

Born May 10, 1981 as Namitha Kapoor in Surat in Gujarat, the actress has appeared in 35 movies in Tamil, Telugu and Kannada. She also featured in an English film, Maya.
