Raut vs Kangana 

Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut threatened Kangana not to return to Mumbai amid the actor’s attack at Mumbai Police over the investigation of the late actor Sushant Singh Rajput case. The tipping point for Sena was Kangana stated that she would not accept protection from Mumbai Police, however, will prefer security from the Centre or Himachal Pradesh police as she made explosive allegations on the alleged Bollywood-drug cartel links. Raut in Sena mouthpiece 'Saamna' asked her not to return to Mumbai and even suggested that the Home Ministry should ‘take action’ against her. 

Kangana first hit back by asking if Mumbai had become ‘Pakistan-occupied Kashmir’ with such threats, and then dared anyone to stop her, as she announced that she will be returning to Mumbai on September 9. She also hit out at Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh for reiterating Raut’s statements and wrote that they had ‘promoted from PoK to Taliban’ in a day.  Kangana’s comments have received mixed responses with numerous celebrities condemning her Mumbai-PoK reference, more Shiv Sena leaders attacking her, while Union Minister Ramdas Athawale and NCW chief Rekha Sharma sought protection for her. However, all apart from Shiv Sena have been unequivocal in condemning the language used in Raut's most recent attack, though many have also been conspicuous by their silence.
