The actress took a sharp jibe at Thackeray in her latest video posted on Instagram. She recalled the comments that she had previously made against Thackeray after the BMC demolished her office in Mumbai over alleged illegal construction. Also, she invoked the Hanuman Chalisa row and said 'when evil takes over, destruction is imminent. After that, there is creation.'
"After 1975, this time is the most important time in history. In 1975, JP Narayan's slogan had shaken the corridors of power.

Jai Hind, Jai Maharashtra," Kangana Ranaut added.
Sharing the video, she wrote, "Jab paap badh jata hai toh sarvnaash hota hai aur usske baad sarajan hota hai (When evil takes over, destruction is imminent. After that, there is creation).. And the lotus of life blooms …"
