MUMBAI: Kangana Ranaut recently compared Mumbai with Pakistan occupied Kashmir. Numerous ministers, including Sanjay Raut, criticised the actress for her comment. The situation escalated when Raut deemed Kangana "haramkhor" and BMC charged into Kangana's office space to tear down "illegal constructions." While the war of words continues, the Shiv Sena member questioned the silence of Bollywood celebrities over Kangana's comment. He mentioned Akshay Kumar's name in particular.

As reported by Hindustan Times, the minister said "half of the film industry" should have come forward to defend Mumbai when Kangana spoke about the comparison. He compared Bollywood's silence over the comment with Pandavas' silence when Draupadi was disrobed. “Is Mumbai only for making money?” Raut asked. He deemed the whole episode as a "conspiracy" to defame Mumbai.
According to Republic TV, the minister also spoke about the video Kangana shared after her office was vandalised last week. In the video, she addressed Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thackrey as "tu." He claimed that "Mumbai natives" were in support with the actress. He also added that it is an "insult" shown that Marathi-speaking Union Ministers did not show their disagreements with her comments.
