'Have cour to stand by your audacity'

Queen actor took to Twitter to share a copy of said document and accused Maharashtra government of "spreading fake" information.

In ar tweet, Kangana responded to a Twitter user regarding unauthorised construction and said issue was t just limited to her but to entire building. She said, "this is t my flat issue but a building issue which builder needs to deal with." actor claimed that  building belongs to Sharad Pawar. "We bought flat from his partner so he is answerable for this t me," she added. 

'...but one lady has misinterpreted it'

In response to this, Maharashtra Housing Minister Jitendra Awhad tweeted saying that everybody kws about contribution of Sharad Pawar Saheb in "building and developing" Maharashtra but one lady has misinterpreted it as constructing a building. Awhad who did t name Kangana in his tweets also used '#mentalhealth'. This can be seen as a tacit rejection of Kangana's claims over building 'belonging to Sharad Pawar'.
