A furious Kangana Ranaut after flying into Mumbai today hit back at the Shiv Sena and its leaders including Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray over demolishing a portion of her office in Mumbai on charges of illegal construction. She also criticised filmmaker Karan Johar, tying him to what she called the "Karan Johar gang" in a tweet storm that asked 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, along with videos of a portion of her office being demolished by the country's richest civic agency, BMC.

— Kangana Ranaut (@KanganaTeam) September 9, 2020Karan Johar was one of the Bollywood personalities who was trolled in the days after the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput over allegations that some people in the entertainment sector encouraged only the sons and daughters of established actors, leading to a heated debate on nepotism.
Ms Ranaut's 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 tweeted by the actor show 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, run by the Shiv Sena.
