Fans have bashed Anu Malik for the racy lyrics originally which got changed. "A strange version of the second law of thermodynamics. Good on her to stand her ground & reject this bullshit!," a fan mocked Anu Malik. "Anu Malik lyricist kabse ho gaya. And Hrithik should also have protested. All my class used to think the lyrics were "Aa thook malun main, tere baalon mein". And we were baffled why such a wholesome song had such kinky lyrics," another fan slammed Anu Malik.
