Whether the actress entered the Sabarimala Ayyappa temple or not, the rule which denies women having darshan of the Diety is nonsense. Because of some 'rules' created by some selfish individuals barring some castes/creeds, the whole Hindu religion got a bad name. Everyone (esp. Hindus) should be allowed to visit any temple (including Sabarimala), only restrictions should be on observance of bodily cleanliness and cleanliness of the temple environment, prohibition of non-veg. food inside and near temple compound, respect for the temples, prohibition of animal/bird 'sacrifice', etc.

You are talking like a stupid.
You being a woman, can you undertake 41 days vrat as specified? No, because in between your menstual cycle will intervenue. Devotees have to observe strict vrat for 41 days and they should have Irumudi (2 sacks) on their head to climb the 18 holy steps. You can have the Irumudi, but you cannot undertake the vrat, being a lady. All other Ayyappa temples ladies are permitted. You are making noise without understanding the reason for such a bar! Stupid on you, even after bieng a Hindu you think in such terms.
CErtain places have certain code of conducts for entry. In some clubs, you cannot enter wearing a dhoti. YOu have to be on pant with neck tie. Likewise, these are the protocol. If you are believer, observe it, otherwise just keep off!
