Sumona Chakravarti, who gained popularity from The Kapil Sharma Show, revealed that her car was suddenly attacked by Maratha reservation protesters in South Mumbai on Sunday, August 31st. The protest, led by Manoj Jarange, continued for the third day at Azad Maidan with thousands of supporters.

The actress said she felt extremely unsafe seeing the streets littered with banana peels, plastic bottles, and garbage. She questioned the law and order situation, calling it a 'complete mockery of citizenship'.

Sumona wrote on her Instagram handle, "Today at 12:30 pm. I was going from Colaba to Fort. And suddenly, my car was surrounded by a crowd. A man wearing an orange stole was banging on my bonnet and smiling. He was pressing his protruding belly against my car. He was swaying in front of me as if proving some absurd point. His friends were shouting 'Jai Maharashtra!' at my windows and laughing. We moved a little further, and then the same thing was repeated. This act was done twice in a span of five minutes."
