After
the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) on Wednesday demolished alleged ‘illegal
portion’ of Bollywood actor Kangana Ranaut’s office in suburban’s Bandra’s Pali
Hill, the actor claimed that the building she lives in belongs to Sharad Pawar
with some reports suggesting she was referring to the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief.

Pawar,
however, on Thursday refuted the claim, saying there is no substance in what
the actress said.

Ranaut is at
the centre of a controversy for linking Mumbai to Pakistan-occupied Kashmir
and criticising the city police, and had engaged in a war of words with NCPs
ally Shiv Sena on the issue.

“This was not
just to me but to entire building and this is not my flat issue but a building
issue which builder needs to deal with and this building belongs to Sharad
Pawar we bought the flat from his partner so he is answerable for this not
me…” Ranaut tweeted on Wednesday, while replying to a post.

The tweet
she replied to claimed a notice was issued to her flat in the building, ‘DB
Breeze’, in 2018 and not for her bungalow in Pali Hill, “illegal”
parts of which were razed by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) on
Wednesday.

Asked by
media persons about the actress’s claim, Pawar dismissed the same.

“It is my
wish somebody names a building after me,” Pawar said sarcastically.

“…Now
it is a question whom we should expect to speak responsibly. But there is no
substance in it (the claim made by the actress), Pawar added.
