After Krish Jagarlamudi opened up on the fiasco he had with Kangana, now acclaimed filmmaker Hansal Mehta spilled beans after a year about the fallout he had with Kangana during the film Simran. In a Twitter post, he tweeted, “Many people keep dragging me into the controversies around Kangana Ranaut that seem to erupt from time to time. For the last time – Simran is a closed chapter as far as I am concerned. The details of what really transpired during the film will remain a closed chapter as far as I am concerned. The details of what really transpired during the film will remain a painful chapter of my life that might find their way in a memoir pleasure on social media. I chose to remain silent before the film released because there was no way I could sabotage a film that had the efforts of so many people at stake.”
“I chose to remain silent after the release because I was relieved that the film was finally out and I did not want to re-live what I had endured. I had to move on for my own sanity. The past two years have been difficult, very difficult. These years have impacted me financially, mentally and physically. I am dealing with my losses in the most constructive manner possible and in the only way I know – by moving on, by living a fuller life, by working doubly hard and by steering clear of people whose presence in my personal and professional life could be toxic.”
“To each his own. A prayer for peace and happiness to all. Heartfelt gratitude to family, friends and colleagues for always being there. And a special thank you to those who revel in calling me names – the attention you give me indeed flattering,” he added.
