Actor Kangana Ranaut recently revealed in an interview that she has not received any compensation for her demolished property in Mumbai. In September 2020, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) partially demolished her property in Pali Hill, Bandra. The demolition was carried out on the grounds of unauthorised construction.

In an interview with ABP, Kangana said, “I have not got any compensation till now, they were supposed to send evaluators. So, I met Shinde ji (current Maharashtra chief minister Eknath Sambhaji Shinde), and said, ‘Aap hi log mujhe kujh evaluation bhej dijiye (Please send some evaluators)’. I do not want anybody, who has abused the money of the taxpayers… I do not want any more compensation, it’s fine.” (Sic)

The actor added, “The court has said they are supposed to pay me whatever compensation, but like I said, they never sent evaluators and I did not demand, because I know it’s tax payers’ money and I don’t want any of it.” The demolition occurred on the same day that Kangana arrived in Mumbai from Himachal Pradesh, amidst a highly publicised conflict with the Shiv Sena political party. The actor also received a Y-plus category security.

Following the demolition of her property, Kangana approached the Bombay High Court and obtained a stay order on the demolition drive. In a petition, Kangana had also demanded a compensation of Rs 2 crore from the BMC, citing that the demolition of her bungalow was carried out illegally.

On the work front, Kangana recently wrapped the film Emergency. In the film, which she has also directed, the actor portrays the role of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.
