The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) officials on Monday announced that actress Kangana Ranaut has to be home quarantined for a week upon returning to the city. The statement from BMC on putting the actress into home-quarantine hardly comes hours after Kangana claimed on Twitter that BMC officials raided her Mumbai office.
Taking to Twitter, Ranaut said BMC officials visited her ‘Manikarnika’ office in Mumbai and may demolish the property on Tuesday. Stating that she has done nothing illegal on her property, she said BMC should show the illegal construction with a notice.
Ranaut has been in a row with Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut ever since she stated that she doesn’t have faith on the Mumbai Police after the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput. Her remark was strongly challenged by Raut who said it was ‘an insult to the Mumbai Police’ and asked her not to come to Mumbai.
Retaliating , Ranaut tweeted, “Why is Mumbai feeling like Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir?” Her tweet evoked strong reaction from leaders of the Shiv Sena and ruling Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government. Shiv Sena MLA Pratap Sarnaik was quick to remind that the actress owes her success to Mumbai.
The ‘Queen’ star, who is in her hometown Shimla since last few months, announced that she is coming back to Mumbai on 9 September’20.
Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thackeray took a dig at Ranaut saying ‘some people don’t have gratitude for the city where they earn their livelihood’. Speaking in the legislative assembly on the condolence motion, Thackeray, without taking any names, said, “Some people have gratitude towards the city where they live and earn their livelihood, but some don’t.”
