The only fix i found is to degrade the current network-manager version (Stretch) to Ubuntu 16.04.2 Xenial's network-manager version and yep its working. What led me to do this ? I have a live DVD of Ubuntu 16.04.2 xenial lying around and I tested wifi-hotspot in it. It is working perfectly \o/ . I compared `journalctl -u NetworkManager` in both and I found that in Stretch version of network-manager, it has Config: added 'psk' value '<hidden>' and in xenial it is Config: added 'psk' value '<omitted>'. I am not saying that the issue is because of this. But this difference is what I found. Thank you.
