In a shocking revelation, filmmaker Hansal Mehta took to twitter to express his personal discontentment with the state of affairs in Mumbai, he shared his unfortunate experience with a stomach infection, which he suspects is caused by the contaminated drinking water in Mumbai. Mehta, who fell ill even before consuming any food spoke with his family doctor and discovered that numerous patients with similar symptoms were being treated daily, with some even requiring hospitalization
Taking his frustration public, Hansal criticized the authorities for their failure to provide clean drinking water. He took to twitter to share his concerts, stating, "I developed a terrible stomach infection this morning. It hit me before I'd even eaten. Spoke to my family doctor and he said that he is seeing at least 10 patients with similar symptoms everyday and some have been hospitalized. The infections seem to be from a bug originating in our drinking water. It is ridiculous that a city that is financial capital to the country and capital to a state with two deputy CMs cannot provide basic clean drinking water to its citizens. Not to mention the abysmal roads, the crippling traffic, the lack of readiness for flooding and crumbling state of our infrastructure. THIS IS MUMBAI. And it is run by people who just don't give a damn about its citizens. All they care for is power and filling their own coffers. Shameful state of affairs (sic.)"
Many twitter users immediately shared in his discontentment, with one saying, "Welcome to the rainy season. Thanks to the intermittent water supply, which sucks bacteria through pipes' joints when water is not running through them, and yes, thanks to the leaky sewage drain running by the side of the leaky water supply line. Get well soon". Users also flooded the filmmaker with well wishes, "Get well soon Sir ...Take absolute care (sic.)". Others also humorously quipped about the situation, with one saying, "the guy got his script for Scam 2023"
Hansal Mehta who is known to be vocal about many social issues plaguing our society, is also a brilliant filmmaker with many movies like âCity Lights', âOmerta', âFaraaz' under his belt.
