Shiv Sena leader Shaina NC condemned Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Arvind Sawant for his "imported maal" remark against her. Shaina said, "This reflects the mindset of Arvind Sawant...Does he think every woman of Mumbadevi is a maal?...I'm a daughter of Mumbai–I'm no one's maal." Notably, Sawant had called Shaina "imported maal' after she quit BJP to join Shinde-led Shiv Sena.
