Kangana Ranaut's Dussehra wish features her 'Bungalow no 5' & message to Shiv Sena's Raut
Kangana Ranaut's Dussehra wish featured pictures of her 'Bungalow no 5', that had been demolished by the BMC, with a message to Shiv Sena's Sanjay Raut.
Kangana Ranaut had strongly announced that her ‘temple’ will rise again like Ram Mandir after the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) had demolished her office last month. On the occasion of Dussehra, the actor gave a glimpse of this ‘rise’ with rituals carried out at the property. Sending a message to the Maharashtra government and Shiv Sena’s Sanjay Raut, who she had been involved in an intense face-off, she wrote that her ‘broken dream’ was smiling in their face.
Kangana’s Ranaut’s Dussehra message to Shiv Sena
Kangana Ranaut took to Twitter on Sunday to share pictures of the Panchmukhi Hanuman idol and the gate of the office of her production house Manikarnika Films in Mumbai’s Bandra, and both decked up with garlands on the occasion of Dussehra. The Tanu Weds Manu star wrote that her home was demolished but not her spirit. She also wrote that 'Bungalow no 5' was celebrating the ‘triumph of good over evil.’
Kangana’s property demolition
The Shiv Sena-led BMC had demolished a portion of Kangana’s property amid high drama while she was on her way to Mumbai from hometown Manali on September 9. Citing ‘illegal alterations’, the municipal body had pasted a ‘stop-work notice’ with a warning that the illegal portions will be demolished if no response was filed in 24 hours. Armed with a JCB and workers carrying hammers and other equipment, the BMC carried out the demolition.
The action had followed Kangana’s heated attack against the Maharashtra government and Mumbai Police in the investigation of the Sushant Singh Rajput case. Sanjay Raut threatening her not to return to Mumbai, and Kangana then making a contoversial ‘Pakistan-occupied Kashmir’ reference to Mumbai escalated the matter. Raut then got flak for using a cuss aword against Kangana.
Kangana then approached the Bombay High Court seeking Rs 2 crore compensation over the ‘illegal demolition’, while BMC stuck to its stand on the alterations being illegal. In the latest development, the court closed the arguments in the case on October 5 and reserved its verdict.
