Hansal Mehta Hits Back After Kangana Ranaut Calls Him 'Stupid' For Tweeting About Her Mumbai House Demolition
Hansal Mehta and Kangana Ranaut clashed online over Kunal Kamra's criticism of Eknath Shinde. Mehta supported Kamra, leading to comparisons with the 2020 demolition of Kangana's office.
Filmmaker Hansal Mehta and actress-MP Kangana Ranaut had a major showdown online on March 25, 2025, over comedian Kunal Kamra. This happened after Mehta extended his support to stand-up comedian Kunal Kamra, who is facing criticism for his jokes on Shiv Sena chief and Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde. This led to many draw parallels to the 2020 demolition of Kangana’s Mumbai office by the BMC under the Uddhav Thackeray regime.
Kunal had made a joke about Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, after which the Mumbai studio where he performed was vandalised and later demolished by the BMC. Filmmaker Hansal, who has been outspoken about the incident, was questioned on X (formerly Twitter) about why he didn’t support Kangana Ranaut when her house was demolished. This led to a heated exchange between Hansal and Kangana.

Hansal wrote, “Was her house vandalised? Did goons enter her premises? Did they do this to challenge her freedom of expression or for alleged FSI violations? Please enlighten me. Maybe I don’t know the facts."
Kangana reposted Hansal’s tweet, recalling how she endured abuse and witnessed her house being demolished. She also criticised him, calling him “bitter and stupid," and urged him to stay out of “matters related to my ordeals."
Kangana tweeted, “They called me names like h*******r, threatened me, served a notice late in the night to my watchman and next morning before courts could open bulldozers demolished the entire house. High court called the demolition completely illegal. They laughed at it and raised a toast to my pain and public humiliation."
Slamming Hansal, she added, “It seems your insecurity and mediocrity has not only made you bitter and stupid but it had blinded you as well, it’s not some third class series or atrocious films that you make, don’t try to sell your dumb lies and agendas here in the matters related to my ordeals, stay out of it."
Replying to her, Hansal wrote, “Get well soon."
In 2020, the Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena government’s Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) demolished alleged illegal portions of Kangana Ranaut’s Bandra bungalow. The demolition came amid her heated feud with Uddhav Thackeray and the Shiv Sena.
