Popular filmmaker Hansal Mehta, who is behind critically acclaimed ventures like Scam 1992, Aligarh, Shahid and many more, bashed a user on Twitter for accusing him of choosing politics over his son Pallava. The filmmaker had earlier asked about the roll-out of vaccines and wrote ‘(not) to those who want it, but to those who need it’, by sharing the picture of his son, who is suffering from down syndrome.

A twitter user targeted the director and accused him of prioritising politics over his son and wrote, “Dear Minister of Foreign Affairs, Maharashtra and Mr. @mehtahansal Pallava was eleigible for vaccination in the very first round when it all started as ‘Down Syndrome’ is a disease lowering the immunity and all such cases were included. But bete ki life ya (son’s life or) politics. Tough one.” The filmmaker chose to teach a lesson that user with his reply and wrote, “Downs Syndrome is not a disease. Do some research. Take some time off from trolling. And understand the context of my question first before providing your parroted answers.” Also Read - Hansal Mehta opens up on why he did not talk to Manoj Bajpayee for 6 years; says, ‘We would cross each other and pretend to look the other way’
