The actress Kangana Ranaut on Thursday compared Mumbai to Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.
It all started when Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut asked Ranaut to refrain from coming back to the city of Mumbai as she has insulted the city force.
Raut asked Ranaut to refrain from travelling back to Mumbai after she made a statement that she feared the city police force more than the ‘movie mafia’
The actress shared a news article link that stated, “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?”

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 😡 https://t.co/FXjkGxqfBK
