Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt stopped from entering Ujjain temple, Ayan Mukerji seeks blessings alone

Brahmastra stars Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt recently headed to Ujjain along with the director of the film, Ayan Mukerji to seek blessings ahead of the release. Only yesterday, Alia shared a video on her Instagram account mentioning that they will be visiting Ujjain’s Mahakaleshwar temple. However, the trio faced a roadblock when Ranbir and Alia were stopped from entering the temple due to the latter’s old comment on beef.

Well, back in 2011, Ranbir had said that he is a big beef lover. The protestors found his old interview and used it as an opportunity to stop the couple from entering the temple. A video of the riot went viral on social media where the crowd gathered around Ranbir and Alia’s car and the moment they entered the venue, people started chanting ‘Jai Shri Ram’.

Amidst all the chaos, Brahmastra director Ayan shared a picture on his Instagram where he is seen seeking blessing from the Mahakal. This indicates that Ayan visited the temple alone as Alia and Ranbir were stopped from entering the place.

For the unversed, in 2011, while promoting his film Rockstar, the Shamshera actor had said, “My family is from Peshawar, so a lot of Peshawari food has come with them. I am a mutton, paya, and beef fan. Yeah, I am a big beef fan.’
