Hansal Mehta quits Twitter
Mumbai Oct 7 (IANS) Filmmaker Hansal Mehta has deleted his Twitter account after facing backlash over his tweets against "Queen" director Vikas Bahl who has been accused of sexual harassment.
Last year a woman employee at Phantom Films which had Bahl as one of the partners along side Anurag Kashyap Vikramaditya Motwane and Madhu Mantena had accused Bahl of harassing her during a trip to Goa. Phantom Films has been dissolved after a seven-year run.
Hansal had condemned Bahl s behaviour.
"Will anybody do anything about this bloody creep or will the industry protect him like it always does? Wish I could do more than just speak out. As a father of two girls I fear them having to deal with such predators just because nobody took any action against Bahl -- on the contrary a major star has acted in his new film. Who is empowered here? The victim or the creep?"
Hansal seemed to be taking a dig at actor Hrithik Roshan who is working with Bahl on "Super 30".
This didn t go down too well with Hrithik s fans who trolled him.
Hansal tried to make the users understand his point but decided to delete his account when he failed.
"I m done with Twitter. A platform that has ambiguous guidelines about hatred negativity and abuse is no platform ... or debate or discussion -- forget social change. Goodbye " Hansal posted before deleting his account.
