CHECK OUT HANSAL MEHTA’S RESPONSE TO TROLLS:

I find the TV commercial terribly distasteful and disparaging. I did not ask for a ban for god’s sake. To those protectors of free speech outraged at my outrage – yes asking the concerned company to pull down ads was an overtly emotional/angry response and I gladly admit that.

I don’t get the ad’s humour. Maybe you do. Glad you have such an evolved sense of humour.” The Chhalaang director concluded his statement as he wrote, “And those who bring up Jaane Bhi Do Yaaron in comparison to this commercial I can only – Get well soon.”
