Kangana intends to continue work from 'ravaged' office, calls it 'symbol of woman's will'

Kangana Ranaut visited the office of her production house Manikarnika films on Thursday after BMC's atrocious act of vandalizing and breaking it down on Wednesday while the actor was en route Mumbai from her hometown in Manali. She took to her Twitter handle and reminisced the day she had conducted the inauguration ceremony for her office and said that she hasn't worked since then as COVID hit and the nation went into lockdown soon after.

Kangana went onto reveal that she intends to keep the office "ravaged" as she cannot afford to renovate it. She said that she considers the ruins as a symbol of a woman's will.
