Hansal Mehta claims Aftab Shivdasani blocked him on Twitter, actor says ‘I wasn’t even aware of this’

Filmmaker Hansal Mehta took to social media on Tuesday morning to share a screenshot that shows his profile has been blocked by actor Aftab Shivdasani. However, the filmmaker did not reveal a reason behind this and he also seemed to be surprised by the development, which he commented with a witty “Oink????”

However, when IANS contacted Aftab, the actor seemed clueless. He claimed he respects the filmmaker and did not block him. “I wasn’t even aware of this. I have a lot of respect for Hansal sir so I don’t know how this would have happened!” said Aftab.

On the work front, Aftab Shivdasani will be making his digital debut with the second season of the Zee 5 web series Poison. Hansal Mehta’s next film Chhalaang, starring Rajkummar Rao and Nushrat Bharucha, will hit the theatres on June 12.
