Brahmastra dropped the most-anticipated song Kesariya on social media, it’s trending everyone for some controversial reasons. However, the song hasn’t lived up to the expectations of fans. Kesariya, which is picturised on the lead actors Ranbir Kapoor and Alai Bhatt who play Shiv and Isha, respectively, received harsh criticism for different reasons.

As per reports in Koi Moi, a section of social media users thought that the tune of Kesariya is stolen from Laare Choote song. A few found the usage of the word ‘Love storiyaan’ is cringe-worthy and unnecessary in the song. Now for the first time Ayan Mukerji has broken his silence and addressed the love storiyaan controversy in Kesariya song.

Recently, Reddit posted a video of the filmmaker speaking up about the same in an interview. Ayan is seen telling the interviewer that the usage of the word love storiyaan is not like elaichi in briyani but a little salt amid too much sugar. Ayan Mukerji was heard saying, “We put it with a lot of love, we found it very interesting. We did not find it like elaichi, we thought it was a twist like bahut shakkar me thoda namak jab aata hai, uska ek maza, ek swaad hai (its not like a cardamon in biryani, it’s like salt amid too much sugar, it has its own taste). Because the film is a modern film and the lyrics of the song are so traditional and simple, and this would have been a fun twist. I still feel that in some time, people will actually start enjoying it even more.”
