Filmmaker Hansal Mehta and his son Jai Mehta have spoken out on social media regarding a recent incident at the Mumbai airport involving South Indian actor Nagarjuna and a fan. The controversy erupted after a video surfaced showing Nagarjuna's bodyguard roughly shoving a fan aside as the actor walked through the airport. Jai Mehta expressed his disappointment on a social media platform, emphasizing that the incident was particularly upsetting because it mirrored a personal experience involving his brother Pallava, who has Down syndrome. Jai recounted how Pallava, a huge fan of a certain celebrity, had never been granted a meeting despite repeated requests through the star's brother and close friends. Following the online backlash, Nagarjuna issued an apology on the same social media platform, acknowledging the incident and expressing regret.
