Kangana Ranaut has said that she felt “violated” when her Mumbai house was demolished in 2020 by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) amid her battle with Shiv Sena. Recently, the actress-turned-politician appeared on The Himachali Podcast when she talked about the incident and shared that she was left “violently broken” after it.
“I felt quite violated, it felt like a lot of violence was unleashed on me. A house is an extension of you, but mine was violently broken, it felt like a personal attack at that time. My takeaway from that incident was how many people supported me in Maharashtra, and to what extent India supported me. Everybody knows the Shiv Sena incident, and people have told me I am courageous. There is a certain fan following of that incident,” Kangana said as quoted by Hindustan Times.
Asked if she joined politics because of the incident, Kangana added, “Contrary to everyone’s belief, my idea of doing anything new in life never stemmed from any bitterness, negativity drains me. Even when I said that after Amitabh Bachchan, if somebody gets immense respect, it is me, I still stand by that.”
Earlier this month, Kangana Ranaut won the Lok Sabha elections from Himachal Pradesh’s Mandi constituency. She defeated her closest rival Vikramaditya Singh of Congress by a margin of over 74,000 votes to become an MP. After her win, Kangana took to her Instagram handle to thank the people of her constituency. “Heartfelt gratitude to all the people of Mandi for this love and trust… This victory belongs to all of you, this is the victory of your trust in Prime Minister Modi and BJP, this is the victory of Sanatan and in the honour of Mandi,” she wrote.
Later on June 6, Kangana Ranaut was travelling to New Delhi when she was slapped by an on-duty female CISF constable at the Chandigarh Airport. The female CISF staff identified as Kulwinder Kaur was unhappy with Kangna’s comment on Punjab ladies during the farmers’ agitation against the three farm laws, suggesting they participated in the protest for money. The lady constable was then arrested.
Kangana also issued a video statement later to talk about the incident and questioned “terrorism” in Punjab. “Namastey dosto! I have been getting a lot of phone calls from the media and my well-wishers. I am safe, I am perfectly fine. What happened at the Chandigarh airport today was during the security check. When I left after the security check, the CISF personnel hit me on my face. She abused me. When I asked her why she did it, she told me that she supports farmers’ protests. I am safe but my concern is, how do we handle terror in Punjab?” she said.
Meanwhile, on the work front, Kangana Ranaut will soon be seen in Emergency.
