Apparently yesterday this fellow Arnab asked on his entertainment channel ‘who is this fellow Hansal Mehta?’ I’ll tell you who I am -
I am a father, a human being and a proud citizen of India. I have a beating heart and I empathise with the pain of a parent. And I pity you Arnab.
A spy, a traitor from the police force is not a threat. He gets bail.
Academics, students and a pregnant woman are threats. Their bail gets rejected over and over again.
This is justice in New India.
My son Pallava is 25 years old. He has Downs Syndrome. He has suffered from a near fatal respiratory failure a few years ago. Does he want the vaccine or does he need it?

I'm proud that Maharashtra govt. are reporting their numbers as honestly as possible. This compels citizens to be cautious and safe. Better than a state that lies and fudges numbers putting citizens at risk.

I’d called out Byjus when they came to my house trying to sell programs that my daughter did not need during the pandemic. They tried to convince her that she was poor academically in order to make an extra buck. I had to drive them out of my house. I was trolled for mocking the

is not on any OTT platform. I have no idea who owns the rights to the film anymore and where it’s original version even is. It is a personal tragedy for me and for all those who toiled to make this film against all odds. It is a tragedy for Shahid Azmi.

#LaalSinghChaddha
. It is a very engaging film made with passion and love. Maybe a bit too overstated emotionally and a bit superficial politically for my taste but a film made with so much care, heart and honesty. It deserves to succeed. So much to admire.
6 people in my home including me were COVID positive. Our son was critical. But we were helpless as we were sick too. Thankfully we were in Mumbai where hospital beds, oxygen and medicines were available. We are all hopefully now on the road to recovery. (contd.)
I really enjoyed

. Not perfect but so what. It’s perfectly fine. It gave me what I miss at the movies. It was nostalgic, heartfelt, simple and an ode to what our films once used to be. Not a film I want to overanalyse or overthink. Give me a

Dear celebrities. It is understandable that opening your heart out and being vocal on a public platform entails a great risk for you and your career. But remember the millennials who form your major audience are speaking up vociferously. Your voice matters to them. Speak up.
It is Pallava Mehta’s birthday today. For us his birthday is a celebration of all the special ones in our lives. It is a celebration of Godliness. It is a celebration of unconditional love.
I always thought he would outlive me. I was wrong. See you on the other side Pappa. The most handsome man in the world. And the most gentle and generous human being that I’ve ever met. Thank you Pappa for your unconditional love. Thank you my legend, my hero.

There is a pandemic. There is a grave economic crisis. There is a military crisis. Yet politicians are busy horse-trading, toppling governments, creating unrest and basically NOT GIVING A DAMN. Are these leaders? Are they really serving the public?
मैं मौसमी सिंह को ऐसे रिपोर्टर के तौर पर जानता हूं, जो चैनल में काम करते हुए भी गोदी मीडिया का हिस्सा नहीं बनी है . वाजिब सवाल करती है और मोदी की सत्ता के सामने बिना झुके अपनी आवाज़ बुलंद रखती है . राहुल गांधी को ऐसे रिपोर्टर के सवाल का जवाब देना चाहिए , न कि उसे बीजेपी से
बिल्कुल जो अच्छा करे उसकी तारीफ़ हो पर जिस राज्य में केस बढ़ते जा रहे,रोकथाम का नामोनिशान नहीं,लोगों को एक अस्पताल से निकालकर पुल के नीचे लिटा दिया गया और बॉलीवुड ऐसे तारीफ में उमड़ आया जैसे ठाकरे साहब ने कोरोना की ऐसी तैसी कर के रख दी।ट्वीट्स की रिलीज़ डेट भी सेम, स्टोरी भी सेम।
When he was born I'd no idea what Down's Syndrome meant let alone knowing what life would have in store for him and us. I learnt later that all it meant for all of us was pure, unconditional love. Happy Birthday Darling Pallava. We are blessed to have you in our lives.
Congratulations

How do such abusive, divisive, vile, hateful and communal people become members of parliament? Or is that now a pre-requisite? Look at the enabler behind him gloating. Even worse.
Lost a very close cousin in Ahmedabad to Covid-19. His wife is also critical. The situation in Gujarat is terrible. Much, much worse than is being reported.

#Brahmastra
. What I enjoyed even more is going to a cinema hall for a nearly 60-70% full morning show after failing to get tickets for last night’s shows.And long queues for the later shows at the same multiplex. The 2nd part is going to be HUGE.

in theatres tomorrow. This film besides being an important document of our times is dramatic and engaging with perhaps one of the best ensembles since Maqbool.
@RajkummarRao
is superlative in his portrayal of a conflicted ‘in-charge’.
@anubhavsinha
is on top of his game.
It is painful for a parent having to deal with a child getting into trouble. It gets compounded when people begin to arrive at judgements before the law takes its course. It is disrespectful and unfair to the parent and to the parent-child relationship. With you

I expressed my opinion on a film. You replied with yours. You need not like the film guys. But to respond with hate, condescension and disrespect tells the world more about your own character and little about the film.

The things that run in your mind are very dangerous to society especially children.
I won’t go down to your level.
However, what I’ll do legally will definitely teach you a lot.
You crossed a line. I promise that many of your words present & past will now haunt u forever. 😊
Twenty years ago goons owing allegiance to Shiv Sena attacked me for a dialog they apparently found objectionable. Not much has changed since. Players change. The game doesn't.

We don’t need a third front. We need a credible, new Indian National Congress for a more vibrant and strengthened democracy. The existing Congress needs to revamp.

needs to realise this and step aside.
Series of desperately misleading and one-sided reports by ANI. On a day where democracy finally felt alive there is a desperate push to shove a false narrative. Does one expect any better from them anyway?

Unfortunately twitter has become a haven for hate-mongering cowards like you. I sincerely hope you get converted to Islam and you get to understand what the religion really stands for. In fact i wish you'd first understand Hinduism so that you do not continue tarnishing it.
