Bollywood actor and producer Kangana Ranaut on Sunday said she became the target of political malice in Maharashtra and the ‘nationalists’ could make a government in Maharashtra ‘at her expense’ — replying to a Twitter exchange that questioned her high-security cover. The actor justified her additional security cover and said she is not just a Bollywood star, but a writer, and producer and has an ‘evident threat’ to her life. “I also spoke about tukde tukde gang and strongly condemned Khalistani groups,” Kangana Ranaut said adding that her next production Emergency involves Operation Bluestar.
In 2020, the Centre sanctioned Y+ security cover to be provided by the CRPF to the actor. The decision came from the Union home ministry based on threat perception. In this category of security, two CRPF commandoes, armed with automatic weapons, protect an individual all the time while one CRPF personnel is deployed at the residence of the individual. The addition of the three CRPF personnel took the number of CRPF personnel in Kangana’s security to 11.
In 2020, Kangana had a face off with the then Uddhav Thackeray government at several phases beginning withe Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation demolishing part of her office calling it an illegal structure. The Bombay high court later ruled that the demolition was wrong.
