Reacting to the viral video where Raut used the cuss word, Dia Mirza wrote on Twitter, “Sir you have every right to express your displeasure for what Kangana has said but you must apologise for using such language.”

More celebrities like Meera Chopra and Manish Mundra fumed at the attack. The actor asked how could leaders use such a term for Kangana. Producer Manish Mundra called Raut ‘illiterate’ and ‘full of false ego’, and added that irrespective of whether one supports the ideology or style of a person, such a person showed the ‘level of Maharashtra politics.’

Sonu Nigam, Ranvir Shorey, Anubhav Sinha, Ashoke Pandit were among the stars who condemned the use of the derogatory word at Kangana. Politicians like Sanjay Nirupam also hit out at the comment.

Meanwhile, both Kangana and Raut issued statements against each other on Sunday. After a cryptic post about ‘courage’, Raut was quoted as saying that he might consider apologising if Kangana issues an apology. The actor, on the other hand, posted a video hitting out at the abuse and asserted her freedom to travel to any part of the country.

Raut had asked Kangana not to return to Mumbai, after she stated that she wouldn’t accept Mumbai Police’s protection, amid her sensational allegations of drug use by Bollywood stars. After asking if Mumbai had become like ‘Pakistan-occupied Kashmir’, she accused Shiv Sena of ‘promoting to Taliban’ after Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh backed Raut's comment, as she announced that she is returning to the city on September 9.
