In a new tweet, Hansal Mehta wrote, “I find the TV commercial terribly distasteful and disparaging. I did not ask for a ban for god’s sake.

“To those calling me names from both the abusive fans to the IT cell trolls to the woke liberals to some senior friends who take indirect digs at me – chill. I don’t get the ad’s humour. Maybe you do. Glad you have such an evolved sense of humour. And those who bring up Jaane Bhi Do Yaaron in comparison to this commercial I can only – Get well soon,” he added after facing criticism for asking the brand for removal.
