Filmmaker
Hansal
Mehta
opened
up
about
his
fallout
with
actor
Manoj
Bajpayee.
He
revealed
that
they
fought
during
the
shoot
of
Dil
Pe
Mat
Le
Yaar
and
did
not
talk
to
each
other
for
6
years.
He
also
shared
that
he
doesn't
remember
what
the
fight
was
about,
but
he
wasn't
bitter
about
it.
Speaking
to
Huffpost
India,
Hansal
said
about
his
fight
with
Manoj,
"The
reason
I
haven't
been
bitter
is
that
you
have
to
always
keep
the
room
open
for
mending.
You
never
know
who
you'll
meet
and
when.
I
am
very
philosophical
about
it.
Manoj
and
I
did
Dil
Pe
Mat
Le
Yaar
20
years
ago.
He
was
one
of
my
best
friends
but
we
fought
during
the
shoot
and
had
a
fallout.
For
6
years,
we
did
not
talk
to
each
other.
We
would
cross
each
other
and
pretend
to
look
the
other
way,
it
was
that
bitter.
Then
we
met
at
Sanjay
Gupta's
place
for
Dus
Kahaniyaan.
I
had
to
interact
with
Manoj
professionally.
Then
after
the
shoot
we
went
for
drinks
where
Manoj
and
I
happened
to
be
sitting
next
to
each
other.
We
wondered
why
all
those
years
we
never
spoke.
I
was
so
bitter
for
those
6
years
and
I
always
wondered
after
that.
Nothing,
a
silly
fight!"
He
continued
to
say
that
he
doesn't
remember
what
the
fight
was
about
but
it
was
a
misunderstanding.
One
day,
Manoj,
who
was
in
the
US,
called
up
Hansal
and
started
screaming
at
him
over
something.
Hansal
screamed
back
and
slammed
the
phone.
The
two
ended
up
not
speaking
for
years
and
Hansal
feels
that
a
lot
of
time
was
wasted.
"Ultimately
what
happened,
we
made
Aligarh
together.
If
we
had
stopped
talking,
how
would
Aligarh
come
about?
Without
Manoj,
what
even
is
Aligarh?
You
can't
close
those
doors," he
added.
Hansal
and
Manoj
collaborated
on
the
2015
movie
Aligarh,
which
also
starred
Rajkummar
Rao.
The
film
was
a
biographical
drama
about
a
gay
professor
from
Aligarh
Muslim
University.
