Kangana Ranaut calls CM Uddhav 'worst product of nepotism' over his 'namak haram' comment

Kangana Ranaut fired a blistering response to Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray’s barbs at the actor during Shiv Sena’s annual Dussehra address. After condemning his ‘Ganja fields in your state’, she also hit back at the politician for calling her ‘namak haraam’ (one who bit the hand that feeds). The Queen star called Thackeray the ‘worst product of nepotism’ and that she was not ‘drunk' on her father's 'power' like him.

Kangana launches blistering attack on CM Uddhav

Hinting at Kangana’s ‘Mumbai is Pakistan-occupied Kashmir’ comment, Uddhav Thackeray during his address to Shiv Sena followers on Sunday was quoted as saying, "Those who don’t even get proper food in their state, come here, make money and then become namak-haram by comparing Mumbai with POK & defame the state, its leaders and the police department. We all are proud of Mumbai police".

Responding to the statements, Kangana referred to the cuss word used for her by Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut and that the CM had now used the word 'namak haraam' for her. She wrote, "He is claiming I won’t get food in my state if Mumbai does not give me shelter."

Writing ‘Shame on you’, she highlighted that she was the ‘age’ of his son, Maharashtra MLA-Minister Aditya Thackeray, and asked if it was a way to talk to a 'self made single woman'.

Calling Uddhav Thackeray the ‘worst product of nepotism,’ Kangana also tweeted that she was ‘not drunk on my father’s power and wealth’ referring to his political venture, courtesy his father, Shiv Sena founder Bal Thackeray.

She also wrote that if she ‘wanted to be a nepotism product’, she’d have remained in Himachal Pradesh,  I could have stayed back in Himachal as she hailed from a ‘renowned family’. The actor stated that she had her ‘self respect and self worth’, so she didn’t want to live off on their wealth and favours.

Moments ago, she had slammed Thackeray for his ‘Ganja fields were in your state’ statement. She highlighted how Himachal Pradesh was known for its spirituality, fertile land, ‘zero crime’ and more.

Kangana’s row with Shiv Sena

Kangana had made the ‘Pakistan-occupied Kashmir’ analogy to Mumbai when Raut had threatened her not to return to Mumbai amid her sensational attack at Mumbai Police over the Sushant Singh Rajput case. Raut had then got flak for using the word that Kangana brought up on Monday. As Kangana then announced, to make a point, that she was going to return to Mumbai, the Sena’ led municipal body Shiv Sena razed a portion of her office. 

Kangana has sought Rs 2 crore compensation from the BMC over the ‘illegal demolition’, in the Bombay High Court, a matter still underway. Be it being booked on charges of sedition, or the witch-hunt against Republic Media Network, the actor has been relentless in her attack on Shiv Sena and CM Uddhav.
