Filmmaker Hansal Mehta and actor-turned-politician Kangana Ranaut, who once collaborated on the 2017 film Simran, locked horns on X over the Kunal Kamra controversy, which led to the show’s venue, The Habitat, getting vandalised by Shiv Sena goons. When an X user asked Hansal why he stayed mum when Kangana’s house was bulldozed, he simply stated that he did not know the facts of the incident. This, however, irked Kangana, who didn’t take long to fire potshots.
In 2020, the BMC demolished a part of Kangana’s Bandra property over illegal construction. When Hansal was asked why he didn’t raise his voice back then, the way he’s doing it for Kamra, Hansal wrote, “Was her house vandalised. Did goons enter her premises? Did they do this to challenge her freedom of expression or for alleged FSI violations? Please enlighten me. Maybe I don’t know the facts.”
