Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut has said that the building she lives in in Mumbai belongs to Sharad Pawar and some reports suggest she was referring to the head of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP). Pawar, however, refuted the claim on Thursday, saying there is no basis for what the actress said.
Ranaut is at the center of a controversy for comparing Mumbai to Pakistani-occupied Kashmir and criticizing the city’s police, and he engaged in a war of words with PNC ally Shiv Sena on the issue.
“This was not just for me but for the whole building and this is not my floor problem but a construction problem that the builder has to deal with and this building belongs to Sharad Pawar, we bought the floor from his partner, so he’s responsible for this, not me. “Ranaut tweeted on Wednesday, while replying to a post.

The tweet he responded to claimed that a notice was sent to his apartment in the building, ‘DB Breeze’, in 2018 and not his bungalow on Pali Hill, the “illegal” parts of which were razed by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) on Wednesday.
When asked by the media about the actress’s claim, Pawar dismissed it.
“It is my wish that someone put my name on a building,” Pawar said sarcastically.
“… Now it’s a question of who we should expect us to speak responsibly. But it is baseless (the actress’s claim),” Pawar added.
