Anupam Kher, Renuka Shahane, others voice against demolition of Kangana's office

Bollywood celebs including Anupam Kher, Renuka Shahane, actor-producer Nikhil Dwivedi among others have condemned the demolition of Kangana Ranaut's office. Where Kher feels that it is absolutely wrong to break someone's house with such ruthlessness, Shahane was appalled by the revenge demolition carried out by BMC.

Mumbai:After Kangana Ranaut's Mumbai office was partially demolished by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation on Wednesday, B-town celebs including Anupam Kher, Renuka Shahane, actor-producer Nikhil Dwivedi and Chairman of the Central Board of Film Certification Prasoon Joshi have voiced their support for the Panga actor.

Anupam Kher tweeted denouncing Kangana's bulldozer firing at his office. Anupam wrote, "Wrong wrong is wrong! It is not called bulldozer but bullydozer. It is absolutely wrong to break someone's house with this ruthlessness. Its biggest impact or impact has not been on Kangana Ranaut's house but on the land and conscience of Mumbai. Regret regret regret. "

On the other hand, Nikhil said that while he doesn't endorse Kangana's opinions about the film industry, he feels that she has been wrongly treated in this case.

"I don’t support #KanganaRanaut’s often exaggerated & at times even dishonest allegations against the movie industry. I am SUPPORTING her on today’s happenings. What’s being done is WRONG."

He had previously responded to a tweet in which Kangana had claimed that the demolition was done in defiance with state COVID-19 guidelines. Nikhil had written, "There r 2 sides now. Both claim high moral ground but either don’t speak when wrong is committed on another. We shud ve spoken when #AamirKhan was being unduly targeted. As we shud speak now in this particular case of urs!! Sadly we r as divided on either side as the entire nation is."

Renuka Shahane, who had previously condemned Kangana’s comments comparing Mumbai to Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir, wrote on Twitter, "Though I did not like @KanganaTeam‘s comment comparing Mumbai to POK I am appalled by the revenge demolition carried out by @mybmc You do not have to stoop so low. @CMOMaharashtra please intervene. There is a pandemic we are dealing with. Do we need this unnecessary drama?"

Prasoon Joshi adviced the Tanu Weds Manu actor to stay strong. "Stay strong @KanganaTeamyou have the inner strength to see you through the toughest of times #KanganaRanaut," he wrote.

Dia Mirza: I don't agree with many of the things Kangana has said in the last few months. The name calling, the vicious personal attacks on individuals, the vilification of people. At the same time i am not okay with her being subjected to personal attacks.

Ankita Lokhande: BRAVEHEART Exorbitant love & More Power to you @KanganaTeam

Sonal Chauhan: Breaking somebody's dream, is NOT what I will ever support. I do not support @KanganaTeam ‘s office being demolished. What's wrong is wrong!!!

Vivek Agnihotri: This is the NAUGHTIEST Govt in the history of Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj's, Babasheb Ambedkar and Balasaheb's great Maharashtra.

Rahul Dholakia: It's principally wrong and against Democracy to use power of a public office to get back at a person just because you dont like what they say or do- How is this any different than the tactics used by a Govt of unleashing CBI, ED, Police or even mob lynchers to silence dissent ?

Rashami Desai, "From Power to politics to drugs. The fight for Justice surely has turned too ugly to witness. Well! This "drama" is next level, totally lacking discipline and rules. And there is more to come. #shame #DeathOfDemocracy."

Himanshi Khurana, "What's going on in Mumbai.. #BMC should wait atleast.... where's the democracy.. this is wrong... to demolish anyone's dream house/office #DeathOfDemocracy."

The demolition was carried out on the basis of structural violations.
