After Uddhav Thackeray, Kangana Ranaut now blasts 'Karan Johar gang'
Enraged bollywood actor Kangana Ranaut following her arrival to Mumbai on Wednesday launched an attack on the Shiv Sena and its leaders including Chiief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on the subject of her office in the city being bulldozed on charges of illigal construction. The actor also went on to blast filmmaker Karan Johar, tying him to what she called the ‘Karan Johar gang’ in a tweet that urged people to ‘wake up now’.
"Today they have demolished my house. Tomorrow it will be yours. Governments come and go. When you normalise violent suppression of a voice, it becomes the norm. Today one person being burned at the stake. Tomorrow it will be jowhar of thousands, wake up now," Ms Ranaut tweeted.

Karan Johar was one of the bollywood celebrities who was criticised following the death of Sushant Singh Rajput over allegations of endorsing nepotism, which led to many heated contensions.

The ‘Queen’ movie actor took a swipe at Karan Johar - known in the industry as KJo - in the same tweet that also attacked Shiv Sena leaders was seen as reinforcing allegations that some politicians and big names in Bollywood protect one another's interests.
The videos shared by Kangana displays plywood, glass and concrete scattered in the destroyed rooms of what used to be her office. Some of the walls stood intact with light blue paint still unscratched by the tools of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation.
"Come Udhav Thakeray and Karan Johar Gang. You broke my workplace. Come now break my house, then break my face and body. I want world to see clearly what you anyway do underhand. Whether I live or die I will expose you regardless," Ms Ranaut tweeted.
"My office was suddenly declared illegal in last 24 hours. They have destroyed everything inside, including furniture and lights, and now I am getting threats they will come to my house and break it as well. I am glad my judgement of movie mafia's favourite world's best CM was right," Ranaut tweeted attacking Uddhav Thackeray.
The matter aggravated after the actor feared living in Mumbai, after which Shiv Sena leaders including Sanjay Raut told her she should move out of the Mumbai. Then she retorted that "Mumbai feels like PoK", short for Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, a comment that she repeated today.
The BMC had listed 14 "violations" at Manikarnika Films, Kangana Ranaut's movie production house in west Mumbai's Khar. The demolition work was held midway on Wednesday by a stayorder from the Bombay High Court.
