Mumbai: Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut responded to “haramkhor ladki” remark made by Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut.
Response of Kangana Ranaut
In an interview with Times Now, the actress said that earlier she was unaware of the meaning of the word “haramkhor”. She said that she found out the meaning from the dictionary.
Responding to the remark, she said that she pays Rs. 15-20 crore annually and her work generates employment to many people. I am not “haramkhor”, she added.
Earlier, defending his remark, Sanjay Raut had said that in Marathi, “haramkhor” means “beiman” or “naughty”.
Rape of my dreams: Kangana Ranaut
The actress described the demolition of the office by BMC as rape of her dreams.
“Yeh balatkaar hai, mere sapno ka, mere honslo ka, mere atmasamman ka, aur mere bhavishya ka (this is rape of my dreams, confidence, self-respect and future),” tweeted Kangana in Hindi from her verified Twitter account along with photographs of her demolished Bandra office.
The actress tagged the official Twitter account of Indian National Congress in her tweet and also used the hashtag #NationlUnemploymentDay. This seems to be Kangana’s jibe at the political party for the trending hashtag #NationlUnemploymentDay on September 17, which is Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s birthday.
In another tweet, the actress expressed in Hindi: “My workplace has been turned into a crematorium, don’t know how many people have been left jobless, hundreds of people get income from a film unit. When a film releases, right from the theatre to the popcorn seller, everyone earns their bread, they have snatched our source of income from us and celebrating #NationlUnemploymentDay17Sept today.”
Kangana further tweeted in Hindi: “It takes a lifetime to build a home and you don’t even sigh while burning down residences. See what they have done to my house, isn’t this rape?”
Sharing another set of photographs of the demolished office, the actress shared in Hindi: “They have turned into a graveyard what used to be a temple before. See how my dreams have been shattered, isn’t this rape?”
