Actor Himansh Kohli has lent support to actress Kangana Ranaut in the wake of Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation initiating a demolition drive at the Bandra office of the actress the day before. Himansh said it takes a lot of blood and sweat for a person to build a home of their dreams, and nobody has the right to destroy it. Soon after Kangana compared Mumbai to Pakistan Occupied Kashmir and criticised the Mumbai Police in a series of tweets, the BMC sent her a notice on Tuesday regarding unauthorised construction at her office in the city.
Himansh said: "It's really hard to understand why do people always have to get personal during arguments. Fight, have a debate, and regardless of the fact that your point is proven wrong or right, leave it at that. It's not only inhuman but also very immature to indulge in any form of violence. It shows that you're not mature to handle your own emotions. What happened with Kangana Ranaut and her newly launched studio, is gruesome."

Accused will continue to remain in custody till any relief is granted by the Bombay High Court.
In the bail plea, advocate Satish Maneshinde forcefully argued that there is nothing on record to suggest that Rhea was in any way involved with the financing of illicit drug traffic or harbouring offenders in relations to any narcotic drugs or psychotropic substances. He pointed out to Special Judge GB Gurao that the NCB was silent on the quantum of drugs, the type of drugs allegedly procured and financed by her, the quantum of the narcotics. "The case against her is that she coordinated the delivery of drugs for her boyfriend (Sushant) and occasionally even made the payment for it...These allegations make for an offence that is bailable," Maneshinde contended.
