In a video that has since gone viral online, the actor can be seen wearing a sleeveless vest and shorts, with a tilak on his forehead. Appearing to be in a hurry, he quickly collected his footwear from the shoe stand and left the premises. While many fans appreciated the actor’s visit to the temple, others took issue with his outfit, arguing that religious places should be visited in more traditional attire. Social media users flooded the comments section with mixed reactions.

Some questioned whether the clothing was appropriate for a temple visit, while others defended the actor, stating that faith should not be judged based on clothing choices. The debate quickly gained traction online, turning the temple visit into a trending topic just days before the film’s release. Apart from the social media controversy, Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai is also reportedly facing legal challenges ahead of its release.

According to reports, a dispute has arisen between Pooja Entertainment, headed by producer Vashu Bhagnani, and Tips Industries regarding the use of songs from the 1999 film Biwi No. 1. The legal proceedings reportedly involve the songs “Chunari Chunari” and “Ishq Sona Hai,” which are allegedly referenced or adapted in the upcoming film.
