After filmmaker Hansal Mehta once again criticised his own film Simran, its lead star Kangana Ranaut has reacted. Replying to a recent tweet by him, Kangana even quoted a sad song for him.

Talking about how he used to support social activist Anna Hazare and then the Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal, Hansal had said in a tweet that everyone makes mistakes in their lives, much like how he made Simran. "I supported him (Anna) in good faith. Like I later supported Arvind. I don't regret it. All of us make mistakes. I made Simran," he had written in a tweet.

A Twitter user replied to him, saying that Simran was among the more successful films of his career. Hansal replied, saying "Uffff... how frustrated you are... burnol chahiye?"

Responding to the conversation on Sunday, Kangana wrote, "That’s true Hansal sir, even you will agree with that, I stood by you and now you saying this, feel like singing ‘achcha sila diya tune mere payaar ka (look how you have repaid me for my love)'."
