From Sonam Kapoor to Swara Bhasker, Bollywood celebs slam Kangana Ranaut for comparing Mumbai with PoK
Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut is known for taking speaking her mind, she is one of the few actresses in the industry who wear heart on their sleeves. Ever since Sushant Singh Rajput’s death the actress is now more active on Twitter and never fails to slam Bollywood biggies. However, her yesterday’s tweet didn’t go down well with Bollywood celebs.
Yesterday, Kangana took to her Twitter handle and wrote that Sanjay Raut is giving her open threat and compared Mumbai with POK (Pakistan Occupied Kashmir). As soon as she dropped this post celebs rose in uproar and taking to Twitter veteran actress Renuka Sahane was first one to oppose her followed by others such as Dia Mirza, Swara Bhasker, Riteish Deshmukh and others.
Sanjay Raut Shiv Sena leader has given me an open threat and asked me not to come back to Mumbai, after Aazadi graffitis in Mumbai streets and now open threats, why Mumbai is feeling like Pakistan occupied Kashmir? https://t.co/5V1VQLSxh1

Renuka wrote, “Dear @KanganaTeam Mumbai is the city where your dream of becoming a Bollywood star has been fulfilled, one would expect you to have some respect for this wonderful city. It's appalling how you compared Mumbai with POK! उचलली जीभ आणि लावली टाळ्याला." (sic)

As an outsider, an independent working woman & resident of #Mumbai for the past decade. Just want to say that Bombay is one of easiest & safest cities to live & work in. Thank you @MumbaiPolice @CPMumbaiPolice for your relentless efforts & service to keep #AamchiMumbai safe. 🙏🏽🇮🇳

Mumbai meri Jaan 🙏🏻 lived and worked here for almost twenty years. Moved here to live on my own at age 19. This city embraced me with open arms and kept me safe. A cosmopolitan, inclusive, diverse, beautiful city.

Mumbai the safest city in India where you can walk alone at 3 am in the morning or take a cab alone at night without being worried of being raped or murdered and @MumbaiPolice does make it safe indeed. Kudos to the Police and @CPMumbaiPolice 👍🙏🤗

Expected better from you”
