Sena-led Maha Vikas Aghi (MVA) government in Maharashtra, which also has Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) and Congress as coalition partners, is facing criticism over demolition at Ranaut's office in Mumbai's Bandra by Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) earlier this week, at a time when actress was involved in a verbal spat with Sena.

Ranaut courted controversy after she recently likened Mumbai to Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) and said she feared city police more than "movie mafia".
