‘Analogy about PoK bang on’: Kangana Ranaut says before leaving Mumbai

She said she is leaving Mumbai with a ‘heavy heart’

Actress Kangana Ranaut said that she is leaving Mumbai with a ‘heavy heart’, after she arrived in the city on September 9 amid a bitter tussle with Shiv Sena government in Maharashtra.

She added that her analogy about PoK was ‘bang on’. She had triggered a controversy with her statement where she likened Mumbai to ‘PoK’.

“With a heavy heart leaving Mumbai, the way I was terrorised all these days constant attacks and abuses hurled at me attempts to break my house after my work place, alert security with lethal weapons around me, must say my analogy about POK was bang on,” she wrote on Twitter.

On the day she arrived in Mumbai, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) demolished ‘illegal construction’ at her Mumbai office. However, the Bombay High Court, stalled the demolition drive after the actress filed a plea.

In her earlier tweets, Kangana has attacked the BMC, Shiv Sena and Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray for trying to break her spirit and oppress her voice by flexing their political muscles. The Shiv Sena retaliated after Kangana said that Mumbai felt like Pakistan-occupied Kashmir and she feared living there, and Sena leader and spokesperson Sanjay Raut told her to never return to the city.
