Whatever I say on social media is without malice: Hansal Mehta
NEW DELHI: Criticism can be polite and without malice, says filmmaker Hansal Mehta, who has been advised not to be vocal on social media but believes it is important to speak one's mind.
Mehta, known for movies such as "Shahid", "Aligarh", "City Lights" and "The Buckingham Murders" and hit OTT shows like "Scam" and "Scoop", is one of the most outspoken and active members from the film fraternity online, whether it is speaking out about what's ailing Hindi cinema or his comments on the controversy around comic Kunal Kamra's stand-up act.
"I have been told not to be vocal on social media but whatever I say is without malice. It is for the larger good. It's not meant to be negative or derogatory. Criticism can be polite and decent," Mehta told PTI on the sidelines of the Cinevesture International Film Festival (CIFF) 2025, which concluded on Sunday.
