MUMBAI : Be it nepotism or Sushant Singh Rajput's death, Kangana Ranaut has always voiced her opinion about things that she feels are not right. And on her way has made many foes than friends. Her recent comment where she compared Mumbai to POK did not go down well with many. However, soon after her remark, she was sent a notice by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation about the unauthorised construction at her Mumbai office. And it took a day for the BMC to run bulldozers there. A lot of celebrities criticized Kangana for her POK comment, but spoke in support of her after the BMC's action. Here's what they said:
Amal Sehrawat: Kangana through her speech inspires many people to be open and transparent in sharing their thoughts. Being right or wrong is very subjective, but I admire her for not being a hypocrite. I strongly condemn the way in which steps were taken against her by the BMC. I found it very biased, where she was not given a chance to put her side of the story or take any legal action, which is the basic right of every Indian. In my opinion it was a very harsh step taken by the BMC.
Rishina Kandhari: I’m very impressed by Kangana. The way she handled the entire ruckus so calmly is commendable, anyone else in her place would’ve broken and shattered, emotionally and mentally. This is pure mental harassment. Yet she came out like a lioness. It’s a show of dirty politics and power. No one else but Kangana has guts to speak so boldly and bluntly against the so-called ruthless and ethical politicians and biggies of Bollywood! More power to her.
Shivani Gosain: It is completely unfair and unjust. Whether it was a legal or illegal construction, according to the SC order they were not supposed to take any step till 30th September because of the current pandemic situation. It's clearly just frustration and revenge. Not done, not accepted at all.
Vijayendra Kumeria: Yes, what happened with Kangana was a clear case of vindication, and a poor display of power against her, because of her comment on Mumbai, and the way she has exercised her freedom of speech. I don’t say that whatever she says is right, it may or may not be, and we should leave that to our investigative authority and jurisdiction, but the demolition on the same day of her arrival into Mumbai was a clear cut action of proving a point.
Savi Thakur: Yes shame on Maharashtra government for doing something like that with Kangana. I mean I don't know why they took that POK comment in a bad way, she didn’t insult Shivaji Maharaj. She just gave an example, but you can’t ban someone like this. Also, you have destroyed her office, so Maharashtra government has proven itself wrong by doing such thing, so what BMC did is really shameful.
Subuhii Joshii: Kangana Ranaut has always been quite vocal about a number of issues. So her continuous comments on Sushant's death case is not any exception. In my opinion we all observe right or wrong as per our own perspective, but yes I definitely agree that in a sensitive case like Sushant's, we should say or comment very sensibly and honestly without being biased with one side. However, what BMC did with Kangana's property is totally unacceptable, unethical, illogical and inhumane. No doubt it's purely revenge, nothing else, and it's a politically driven activity. I wonder are we really living in a democratic state!
Kettan Singh: Kangana did stand up for the right things but she has no control on her words. Raising her voice for justice and slowly slipping into believing in conspiracy theories and justifying them isn't any better than spreading fake news. What the BMC has done is basically a PR disaster for the Maharashtra Government. Kangana triggered them by using words that were harsh to an extent, not just abusive and they reacted in this way. Kangana comparing Mumbai to POK is the best thing she can do if she is running an agenda, but it's more than offensive to me and everyone who was born and worked in this city. If she really feels so about Mumbai she should try a different city for a while, maybe Karachi. Also she has used a person's death to make it eventually all about her and Shiv Sena.
Pranitaa Pandit: What has happened with Kangana is unimaginable, it is absolutely cruel and unfair. She is a self-made woman. It’s her hard earned money and it’s her first ever production house work place that she had made with so much love and passion and to do that with someone is just not acceptable. So initially I was kind of contemplating like what Kangana is saying or doing is completely correct or not, there were doubts in my mind, but this action by BMC proves her correct. This is the worst action that they could have ever taken against any individual just for speaking what they think is true. I stand with Kangana. And of course it is a proper calculated move. I am sure there must be something illegal but the way it was conducted was just too fast and well planned and it just looks like revenge which was properly planned and executed.
Urvashi Upadhyay Sharle: What happened on Wednesday is very shocking and sad, because a house or an office is made with so much difficulties and hard work, and it is demolished by saying it is illegal. It’s like only Kangana's office is illegal rest everything is legal. In Mumbai there are other illegal buildings too, they didn’t demolish all those buildings. In her absence doing what they did was wrong. Till now everything was ok, so what happened now, why it became illegal, the way it has happened, everyone is feeling that it is revenge. Her comment on comparing Mumbai to POK is wrong, but what has happened with her is wrong too. People are saying bad things to her, which is wrong, and this is not our culture, and she is fighting alone. She might not be 100 percent right, but she is not 100 percent wrong also.
Rohit Chaoudhary: Kangana should be careful before saying anything, and even Sanjay Raut should respect women and should be careful before saying anything. I support Kangana and what BMC did is absolutely wrong and not acceptable. She made her office with lots of love, ambition, dreams and doing such a thing proves that you are taking revenge from her. Even Manish Malhotra received a notice from BMC, but did BMC rush there. It's very sad that in the absence of the owner you did this to her, and because of this many people came on the road to protest. I am against BMC and they should follow all the rules and regulations. I would like to advice Kangana and Sanjay Raut to think before commenting.
Khushbhoo Kamal: From nepotism to Sushant's death, whatever Kangana said to the media from the very first day to till today, I don’t think that she was wrong. But it is just that sometimes she speaks beyond the topic and starts speaking about herself because even she has faced these kind of problems. Even after tolerating so much what she has achieved now is commendable. Whatever BMC did is absolutely wrong and it is a revenge action on her comment of POK about Mumbai. Shiv Sena party is so weak that they cannot build their own party, they were previously called as goons and they are still that. Aditya Thackeray's name is also involved in Disha Salian and Sushant's murder mystery. Whatever Kangana said in her Instagram video is the truth. I believe what BMC has done is wrong and I stand with her and yes #deathfordemocracy.
Angad Hasija: Initially a lot of people tried to get publicity with Sushant's death, and Kangana was also one of them. If she really wanted to, she could have just let it be about Sushant, but she made it about herself. And I did not appreciate that. I also did not appreciate her comment on comparing Mumbai with POK, because that's the city which gives me my bread and butter. But I condemn BMC's act. It was not required at all, it's not just unfair, it shows that if you say anything against the government, your mouth will be shut. It's a scene straight out of a Bollywood film.

Avinash Mukherjee: Whatever Kangana has said so far, be it nepotism or even Sushant's death, she has tried to bring the audience's attention towards all this. She might not be right always, and I strongly criticise her comment on comparing Mumbai to POK, but that doesn't give you the right to demolish her office. What BMC did is just not acceptable. It was a war of words from both sides, and they should have left it like that. I support Kangana in this matter because what's wrong is wrong. You don't know with how much blood and sweat and love she created that place, and you destroyed it in seconds. It's definitely revenge, and also shows how inhumane and irresponsible they are.
