Mumbai, November 9, 2026 (Yes Punjab News)
Filmmaker Kunal Kohli has criticised residents for bursting loud firecrackers outside a hospital on Diwali night, recounting how his request to avoid noisy crackers was dismissed while he was taking his mother there for emergency medical care.
In a post on X, Kohli said he had taken his mother to Khar Hinduja Hospital on Diwali night when some residents were bursting loud firecrackers near the hospital entrance.
He said he politely requested them to avoid bursting loud bombs outside the hospital gates, while making it clear that he was not asking them to stop celebrating the festival altogether.
However, one resident allegedly brushed aside his appeal, arguing that the hospital was located in the wrong place because they had been living in the area for 40 years.
“Took my mom for an Emergency to Khar Hinduja hospital tonight, Diwali night. Sadly some residents were burning loud bombs just outside the hospital gate,” Kohli wrote.
Describing the response to his request, he added: “A man told me ‘hospital galat jagah pe hai-hum yahan 40 saal se hain’ and he continued to burst loud bombs.”
The filmmaker also tagged the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) in his post, drawing attention to the disturbance outside the medical facility.
Kohli is known for directing films such as Hum Tum, Fanaa, Mujhse Dosti Karoge!, Break Ke Baad and Teri Meri Kahaani. His most recent directorial venture, Bobby Aur Rishi Ki Love Story, featuring Vardhan Puri and Kaveri Kapur, was released in 2025.
