MUMBAI, Sept 9 - Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut landed here on Wednesday from Himachal Pradesh, angry and caustic as she took on the Shiv Sena, called her home Ram mandir and described herself as the daughter of Chhatrapati Shivaji.
The Queen actress, who has been given Y-plus category security from the Centre, was met with black flags and slogans from protesting Shiv Sena workers. But there was support too from workers of the RPI(A) and Karni Sena, who also gathered at the airport.
Addressing Maharashtra Chief Minister and Shiv Sena leader Uddhav Thackeray, Ranaut posted a video message saying his �ego will be destroyed� the way her Bandra home was demolished.
The actress said she is working on a project on Ayodhya but now understands the pain of Kashmiri Pandits and will also make a movie on their plight.
Ranaut, known for her provocative statements, again compared Mumbai with Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) after the Shiv Sena-led BMC demolished �illegal alterations� at her Bandra bungalow.
�Uddhav Thackeray, tujhe kya lagta hai (what do you think)? You think you have taken a huge revenge by destroying my house in collusion with the movie mafia. Today my house is destroyed, tomorrow it will be your ego. The wheels of time keep changing,� she said in a video message in Hindi, referring to the chief minister in the informal �tu� rather than the more respectful �aap�.
On Wednesday, Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut told India Today, �I have never threatened Kangana Ranaut, I only expressed my anger at Mumbai being likened to PoK, am not responsible for what action BMC takes... matter is over for me, Kangana is welcome to live in Mumbai.�
Ranaut shared few photographs of BMC officials at her house, with the captions �Pakistan...#deathofdemocracy� and �Babur and his army #deathofdemocracy�. She also posted past photos from the building, calling it her own �Ram Mandir�. �Today Babur has come there and history will repeat itself,� she tweeted.
Calling herself the daughter of Chhatrapati Shivaji, Ranaut claimed that she was fighting for her �honour and dignity�.
Earlier in the day, a BMC team reached the bungalow at Pali Hill in Bandra with bulldozers and excavators and demolished alterations made sans the civic body�s approval.
The Bombay High Court, however, stayed the demolition process initiated by the BMC and sought to know why the city civic body entered the property when the owner was not present.
The trouble between the ruling Shiv Sena and Kangana started after the actress said that she feared Mumbai Police more than the �movie mafia� after the death of Sushant Singh Rajput and likened the Maharashtra capital to PoK. � PTI
