Chandigarh, September 11

Actor Kangana Ranaut revealed that she will not renovate the damaged portions of her office, that was demolished on Wednesday by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation. 

The BMC carried out the demolition based on alleged structural violations.

Taking to the microblogging website, the actress said that "she doesn't have money to renovate it".

“I had my office opening on 15th Jan, shortly after corona hit us, like most of us I haven’t worked ever since, don’t have money to renovate it, I will work from those ruins keep that office ravaged as a symbol of a woman’s will that dared to rise in this world,” her tweet read.

She added the hashtag, “Kangana vs Uddhav”.

Along with the security guards, Kangana arrived in Mumbai on September 9, hours after BMC carried out the demolition. On Thursday, the actor paid a visit to the property, and surveyed the damage.

The Y-plus category security cover was provided by the Union home minister Amit Shah after Kangana expressed concerns for her safety following a war of words with Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut. 

The controversy erupted when Kangana said that she feels unsafe in Mumbai, and compared it to Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. Raut condemned her comments, and advised her not to set foot in Maharashtra.

Earlier, Kangana shared a video message for Thackeray, and said in Hindi: “Uddhav Thackeray, did you think that you got revenge from me by colluding with the film mafia and demolishing my house? My house has been demolished today but your pride will crumble tomorrow. Time will change. I think you have done me a huge favour. I knew what Kashmiri Pandits must have gone through, but today, I have experienced it. I vow that I will make a film, not just on Ayodhya, but also on Kashmir. I will rouse my fellow countrymen. It has happened to me, which has some meaning and significance. Uddhav Thackeray, it is a good thing that it was me who was subjected to this cruelty and terror. It definitely has some significance. Jai Hind, Jai Maharashtra!”
