The entire episode started with Kangana Ranaut, a vocal supporter of the BJP and PM Modi, who said that she felt unsafe in Mumbai after the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput.
In the ongoing feud over remarks on Mumbai and the ruling alliance, Shiv Sena’s Sanjay Raut has now sought an apology from actor Kangana Ranaut. The Shiv Sena MP refused to apologise when he was asked whether he would apologise to her for his use of unparliamentary language about her in a television interview yesterday, imposing a condition.
“If that girl (Kangana Ranaut) will apologise to Maharashtra, then I will think about it (of apologising). She calls Mumbai a mini Pakistan. Does she have the courage to say the same about Ahmedabad?” Mr. Raut was quoted as saying by news agency ANI.
The entire episode started with Kangana Ranaut, a vocal supporter of the BJP and PM Modi, who said that she felt unsafe in Mumbai after the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput.
“After a major star has been killed I spoke about drug and movie mafia racket, I don’t trust @MumbaiPolice cos they ignored SSR’s complaints, he told everyone they will kill him yet he was killed, if I feel unsafe,does that mean I hate the industry and Mumbai?” the actress had tweeted.
Shiv Sena reacted strongly to her statement.
“We kindly request her not to come to Mumbai. This is nothing but an insult to Mumbai Police. The Home Ministry should take action over it,” Sanjay Raut had said.
After Raut’s statement, Kangana had said that Mr Raut, a Rajya Sabha member, had threatened her openly and asked her not to return to Mumbai.
Sharing the news report of his remark, the actress had said: “Why is Mumbai feeling like Pakistan-occupied- Kashmir”.
