Kangana Ranaut: Why Mumbai Is Feeling Like Pakistan Occupied Kashmir?

Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut has claimed that Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut has given her an open threat and asked her not to come back to Mumbai. Her remark came after Sanjay Raut slammed Kangana for her statement on Mumbai Police a few days ago. ## "We kindly request her not to come in Mumbai. This is nothing but an insult to the Mumbai police. The Home Ministry should take action over it", Raut wrote Shiv Sena's mouthpiece 'Saamana'. ## In response to his remark, Kangana tweeted and asked why Mumbai is feeling like Pakistan occupied Kashmir? "Sanjay Raut Shiv Sena leader has given me an open threat and asked me not to come back to Mumbai, after Aazadi graffitis in Mumbai streets and now open threats, why Mumbai is feeling like Pakistan occupied Kashmir?", she wrote.## Meanwhile, a few days ago, the 'Manikarnika' actress had tweeted that she would require security either from Haryana or Central government and would not accept protection from Mumbai police to expose the alleged 'drug mafia' in Bollywood as the probe into late actor Sushant Singh Rajput's death intensifies.## The actress had also tagged BJP MLA Ram Kadam in her tweet, an action that drew the ire of Shiv Sena and Congress.## Jumping into the controversy, Maharashtra Congress spokesperson Sachin Sawant warned the actress that she should first run a background check on Ram Kadam before seeking help due to his 'dangerous' history.## Stay tuned...

He put the personal reasons behind this tough decision.## Raina, however, the other day had thrown some light on sudden exit from the tournament by breaking his silence on the death of his uncle Ashok Kumar and one of his cousins, following an attack by robbers in Punjab's Pathankot district on August 19 and 20.## In an interview with Cricbuzz, Raina speaks up on why he came back to India and also dismisses reports of there being a rift between him and Chennai Super Kings after N Srinivasan's comments about him. The former India player also hints at the possibility of returning in the IPL 2020 for CSK which he terms his family. ## "It was a personal decision and I had to come back for my family. There was something that needed to be addressed immediately on the home front. CSK is my family too and Mahi Bhai (MS Dhoni) is very important to me and this was a tough decision. There is no issue between CSK and me. Nobody will just turn their back on Rs 12.5 crore and walk away without a solid reason. I might have retired from international cricket but I'm still young and I am looking forward to playing for them in the IPL for the next 4-5 years", Raina told Cricbuzz. ## When asked about his reaction to the critical comments on him made by CSK's owner N Srinivasan, Raina said that N Srinivasan is like a father to him and he can scold his son. ## "He is like a father figure to me and he's always stood by me and is close to my heart. He treats me like his younger son and am sure a lot of what he said was taken out of context. Ek baap apne bacche ko daant sakta hai(A father can scold his son). He didn't know the real reasons for me leaving when he gave those comments. Now he's been informed about them and he even sent me a message thereafter. We've chatted about it and both CSK and I just want to get over with it". ## Hinting at the possibility of his returning to play the IPL 2020, he said, "I've been training even while quarantining here. You never know you might see me in the camp there again". ## Raina also stated that the team management and the BCCI are a commendable job by keeping up everyone safe in a situation which is new for everyone. "It's a highly secure environment and no one without access can move anywhere.

Won't Deny The Fact That It's Going To Be Difficult Initially, Says Kohli On Playing In Empty Stands

The Royal Challengers Bangalore skipper Virat Kohli has accepted the fact that it won't be easy for the players to play without the crowd in the upcoming edition of the Indian Premier League which is scheduled to start on September 19 in the UAE. ## The RCB captain did acknowledge that the cricket field would be a significantly 'stranger' place from the last time he was on it. However, Kohli suggests that the crowd factor will diminish as the tournament will progress. ## "I won't deny the fact that it's going to be difficult initially," Virat told The Bold Diaries on the RCB channel. "It is going to be strange. Just the echo of the ball hitting the bat. I haven't experienced that since playing Ranji Trophy cricket back in 2010. It is the last time I experienced it, so for 10 years, I haven't had a game where I'm not hearing the crowd.## "We have done this at some stage in our lives. It's important to remember that rather than saying 'But oh I'm used to this now and I won't do it if there's no crowd'. We have done it in the past, even in those games we played, you wanted to perform and play for the love of the game. The crowd factor will play a part but once you get into the game, the instincts will kick in and the crowd factor will diminish pretty quickly." ## It is not only playing in the empty stands but players also might take some time to get back into the rhythm as many of them haven't played cricket for some time, especially Indian players. However, Kohli who last played competitively six months ago at Christchurch Test against New Zealand has confessed that the COVID-enforced break from cricket was most opportune and that he didn't miss the game as much as he thought he might. ## "Things were okay. I didn't miss the game as much as I thought I might. Maybe because I'd been going on for 9-10 years before that and this was the only break I was ever going to get that long. It was a revelation for me as well. It was surprising that my focus was not solely on how I'm missing the game all the time and you know just carrying on with life, doing other things, and understanding that this is just a part of life", he said.## "Couple of months [ago] you couldn't imagine you'd have IPL firstly. Then things started opening up and things started getting together and then we saw other tournaments taking place. So got a bit of confidence from that. Now when we had our practice session yesterday is the time I realized how long it has been. When I was heading to the practice session, I felt nervous, I felt a bit jittery ..."## Stay tuned...
