Kangana Ranaut on Thursday took to Twitter to compare Mumbai with Pakistan occupied Kashmir, after claiming that she got an open threat from politician Sanjay Raut. Hitting out at Kangana’s statement for drawing parallel between Mumbai and POK, Swara Bhasker shared in a statement, “I have never been to PoK, so I don’t know what it feels like but to call India’s most dynamic city, financial capital and a city that has changed the lives and destinies of so many people- including hers .. to abuse that city and compare it to PoK because you want to create a headline is just petty, ungrateful and frankly ludicrous. If a Muslim actor has made this comparison and said they feel unsafe we would have been baying for their blood.”

Previously, Renuka Shahane had also slammed Kangana for her statement. “Dear @KanganaTeam Mumbai is the city where your dream of becoming a Bollywood star has been fulfilled, one would expect you to have some respect for this wonderful city. It’s appalling how you compared Mumbai with POK!” While Kangana had replied to her, “Dear @renukash ji when did criticising the poor administration of a government became equal to the place being administered , I don’t believe you are that naive, were you also waiting like a blood thirsty vulture to pounce and get a piece of my meat ? Expected better from you”.

Sonu Sood had also expressed support in a cryptic tweet, stating, “This city changes destiny. If you salute it, you will receive a salute.”
