Ronit Roy is all praises for Salman
So now #Loveratri is #Loveyatri due to external influences. This doesn’t at all take away from what @BeingSalmanKhan told me the other night and I quote “I will always make clean family films like the ones we used to love going to the theatres to watch” So go. Watch PURE LOVE!

The controversy
Backstory: Salman accused of hurting religious sentiments
For the uninitiated, the title of 'Loveratri' was changed after the team was accused of hurting Hindu sentiments and denigrating the festival of 'Navratri'. While VHP had demanded a change in the title, things took a nasty turn when a Muzaffarpur court ordered to file an FIR against Salman and seven others, who were related to the movie.
Clarification
It isn't demeaning any culture: Salman
Addressing the allegations during Bigg Boss 12 launch, Salman stated the movie doesn't demean any culture. "Some people have some problem with the title of the film. We are making the film with Navratri in the backdrop. We don't need any publicity like that. Once the film is released those people will know there is nothing," he added. But the title was changed, nevertheless.
