Netizens furious over Raut’s comment on Kangana 

As a video of Raut cussing at Kangana on a news channel went viral,and the word became a trending topic, netizens expressed their anger too. One wrote that his language was not expected from a Rajya Sabha MP, and requested ‘strict action'. Many sarcastically wrote that they will ‘not trend’ the hashtag #Behave_Sanjay Raut, while others sought an apology from him, and used hashtags like 'Shame on Maha Govt.'

Raut reacts 

Sanjay Raut posted a cryptic note, speaking about his courage and highlighted how he had turned the 'tide of the storm' in the past, in the wake of the criticism for the comment.

Kangana vs Sanjay Raut 

Kangana has beeen making headlines for her strong criticism of the Mumbai Police in the investigation of the Sushant Singh Rajput death case. As news of prime accused Rhea Chakraborty’s alleged links to narcotics surfaced, she claimed that Bollywood stars were heavily involved with drugs. As her allegations prompted calls for her security, the Tanu Weds Manu star wrote that she won’t accept protection from Mumbai Police, and only trusted the Centre or Himachal Pradesh government.

Responding to this comment, Raut threatened her not to return to Mumbai, from Manali, where she has been living since the start of the lockdown. Kangana then made a controversial ‘PoK’ reference about Mumbai, and even accused Shiv Sena of ‘promoting from PoK to Taliban’ after Maharashtra Home Minsiter Anil Deshmukh also made a similar comment. She dared the party to stop her, as she announced that she will be returning to Mumbai on September 9.
