The official cost of Kangana Ranaut’s home in Pali Hill, Bandra, part of it which was demolished by BMC

• Parts of the Bollywood star’s home was demolished by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation for alleged illegal construction.
• The star’s home was spread over 3,075 square feet and was bought for ₹20.7 crore in 2017.
• She also spoke out against Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thackeray for the destruction of her property.

Bollywood star Kangana Ranaut has taken Mumbai by storm. Her standoff with the Shiv Sena, which is part of the ruling coalition in the state, has led to the demolition of a part of her fancy Pali Hill residence by the city's civic body.

The BrihanMumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) alleged that the torn down part of her home was an "illegal" construction. While the politics rages on, Business Insider brings hitherto unreported details about the worth of the actor's home.


The star’s home was spread over 3,075 square feet and was bought for ₹20.7 crore in 2017, which is over ₹50,000 per square feet of space. She had also paid stamp duty of over ₹1 crore for it. The data was sourced from ZapKey and shared by Mumbai-based Vishal Bhargava, a real estate columnist and entrepreneur.


The actress soon took to Twitter and shared videos of the demolition alleging revenge by Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray.

Kangana Ranaut has crossed swords with the ruling dispensation in the state over the probe into the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput.

Ranaut has alleged foul play behind what was initially believed to be a suicide⁠— there is no evidence to the contrary yet⁠— and a cover up by the state police. Her tirade against the state and other Bollywood personalities has pitted her against the state government led by Thackeray.


The Bombay High Court has placed a 'stay' on the demolition. According to IANS, Ranaut’s lawyer Rizwan Siddique had “challenged the BMC notice earlier in the morning before the high court, contending that there are no illegalities in the office works even as the civic demolition squad swooped on the premises in Bandra West.”

The Bombay High Court has now asked the BMC to file its reply to the actress’ plea challenging the demolition order by 3 p.m. on Thursday.

The ruckus in the country's financial capital was expected after Ranaut declared that she would be travelling from Mohali to Mumbai. She got herself a 'Y' category security, approved by the Union Home Ministry under Amit Shah, after threats from Shiv Sena leaders. The political drama has been the only go-to spot for all paparazzi today.
