Shashank
Khaitan,
who
has
directed
films
like
Dhadak,
Humpty
Sharma
Ki
Dulhania,
and
Badrinath
Ki
Dulhania,
has
deleted
his
Twitter
account.
Although
the
exact
reason
for
his
decision
is
not
known,
Shashank
expressed
that
Twitter
is
a
'breeding
ground
for
hate
and
negativity,'
adding
that
it
'could
not
be
used
to
create
a
better
world.'
Shashank's
last
tweet
read,
"Done
with
twitter...
just
a
breeding
ground
for
hate
and
negativity...
very
sad
that
a
platform
so
powerful,
could
not
be
used
to
create
a
better
world...
praying
for
peace
and
love
always...
deactivating
my
account
now
...
@Twitterindia."
After
deleting
his
account,
he
took
his
Instagram
handle
to
share
a
screenshot
of
his
last
tweet.
He
captioned
the
post,
"Finally
deleted
my
twitter
account...
I
am
surely
inconsequential,
in
terms
of
followers
and
reach
for
the
platform...
but
I
believe
every
voice
is
important...
hope
such
a
powerful
platform
can
evolve
and
reform
to
spread
love
and
happiness
...
Praying
for
a
peaceful
world
always..."
Shashank
had
recently
taken
to
his
social
media
platform
to
issue
a
warning
against
fake
casting
calls
that
were
happening
for
his
shelved
film,
Mr.
Lele.
He
had
announced
the
film
early
this
year,
with
Varun
Dhawan
as
its
lead,
but
was
soon
shelved.
He
had
said
that
he
hoped
to
collaborate
with
Varun
soon,
if
not
on
this
project,
at
least
on
another
one.
