Reacting to a report that slain crime reporter J Dey's sister, Leena, is ailing and in dire need of financial help, Hansal Mehta who has directed a successful web series 'Scoop' on Dey's murder, has decided to offer 'every help needed'.
While Hansal did not wish to go on record on this matter, a close friend of the filmmaker reveals, "Hansal read the report and immediately got into into action. Long before he made the series he was deeply shocked and moved by Dey's murder. Now having made the series he feels closer to Dey's story than before."
The source adds, "He would not want to talk about this. To extract publicity out of what is a normal, natural, act of humanism is not right, feels Hansal. What happens between Hansal and Dey's family won't go into the public domain."
