He said, "Recently maine Aryan Khan ka kaam dekha, mujhe bohot ajeeb laga. Ek toh family ke saath aap dekh nahi sakte, language itni ajeeb hai. Uss laguage ki koi justification bhi nahi thi. Aus jis level ke log dikhaye the, kya woh sadak chaap language use karte hai?"

Translations - "Recently, I saw Aryan Khan's The Ba***ds of Bollywood, and I found it very strange. You can't even watch it with your family because the language is inappropriate. There was no justification for using that kind of language. The type of people shown in the film, do they use street-style language?"

He added, "Agar gaali deni bhi hai, toh close-up ki tarah honi chahiye, jab zaroorat hai tab bolo, tabhi impact aata hai. Har sentence mein toh cringe hota hai, boriyat ho jati hai."
