'This is harassment': Hansal Mehta lashes out at government officials for delaying his daughter's Aadhaar card registration

As a fervent admirer of Hansal Mehta, I find myself both inspired and disheartened by his recent ordeal with the Aadhaar registration process for his daughter. On one hand, it’s disheartening to see such a renowned figure, who has given us captivating stories through Scam 1992 and other masterpieces, face bureaucratic hurdles that many of us common folk encounter regularly.

Renowned Bollywood director Hansal Mehta, who is active on social media, has voiced his annoyance about the delays in registering his daughter Kimaya’s Aadhaar. Even after multiple visits to the appropriate authorities, the registration process has been halted, causing him to label the situation as ‘unfair treatment.’

Hansal Mehta accuses officials of ‘harassment’ in daughter’s Aadhaar registration process

Recently, Hansal Mehta expressed his concerns on Twitter, accusing government officials of harassing his daughter. In a series of tweets, he explained that his daughter has been attempting to obtain an Aadhaar card for three weeks now. Despite braving the rain and arriving at the Aadhaar office in Andheri East early, the senior manager there continues to send her away with some excuse or another.

In his post, Mehta expressed the experience as extremely aggravating, bordering on intimidation, and directed it towards the official social media handles of the Unique Identification Authority of India and Aadhaar.

Netizens react to Hansal Mehta’s tweet

Following Hansal Mehta’s tweet gaining popularity, many users reacted with their thoughts and anecdotes. One user compared Mehta’s work in Scam 1992, saying “She should follow the paperwork! There’s no room for scams with Mehta here!” Hansal countered by stating, “Is it really? Having a government official place his seal a little higher is considered compliance? Let’s stop this nonsense.”

In response to a comment about the challenges faced by ordinary citizens due to systemic corruption, it was pointed out that Mehta holds a position of power. However, Hansal clarified, “Just wanted to let you know, I’m not a powerful person. I’m a regular middle-class citizen of this nation. I deserve respect and better treatment.”
