BJP And Shiv Sena Like Aamir Khan, Kiran Rao: Sanjay Raut

Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut said Shiv Sena's and BJP's political ways are different but the friendship will remain intact.

As speculation of its reunion talks with the BJP heats up, Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut has stressed more than once that the bond between the parties remains, no matter where politics takes them. Today, he explained this "bond" by referencing actor Aamir Khan's divorce announcement on Saturday. "We are not India-Pakistan. Look at Aamir Khan and Kiran Rao, it is like them. Our (Shiv Sena, BJP) political ways are different but the friendship will remain intact," the Shiv Sena MP and spokesperson told news agency ANI. Aamir Khan and Kiran Rao announced their divorce last weekend after a 15-year marriage. On Sunday, the two sat together, holding hands as Aamir Khan said at a virtual event: "You must have heard about us. You would've felt sad, must've been shocked. But we just want to tell you that we are very happy and we are one family. Our relationship has changed but we are still together." Mr Raut was responding to BJP leader and former Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis saying their parties are "not enemies".
