Actor Kangana Ranaut left from her home town of Mandi in Himachal Pradesh on early Wednesday morning. She is on her way back to Mumbai, fulfilling her challenge to Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut that she made last week.
Kangana Ranaut, who was recently given Y category security after she said she was being threatened, will land in Mumbai on Wednesday and will be guarded by 11 Central Reserve Police Force personnel.
Kangana will take a flight to Mumbai from Chandigarh.
Sharing a tweet, she wrote, “I have lived the courage, valor and sacrifice of Rani Laxmibai through my films. The sad thing is that I am being prevented from coming to my own Maharashtra. I will continue to raise my voice against wrong, Jai Maharashtra, Jai Shivaji.”
The actor was also reported to have tested negative for Covid-19. Dr Devender Sharma, chief medical officer, Mandi district said.
Kangana is locked in a bitter war of words with Sanjay Raut over her comments on the Mumbai Police after the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput. After he reportedly asked her not to return to Mumbai for comparing the city to Pakistan Occupied Kashmir, she had dared anybody to stop her when she reaches the city on September 9.
After his comments, Kangana shared a video on Sunday, saying that Raut had called her names. “It shows your mindset… If I criticise Mumbai Police or if I criticise you, then you can’t say I am insulting Maharashtra. You are not Maharashtra. Your people are threatening me, still I will come to Mumbai on September 9,” she had said.
