Several Bollywood celebrities, including actors Anupam Kher, Shabana Azmi, Shekhar Suman, and his son Adhyayan Suman, have voiced their reactions to the recent incident involving Kangana Ranaut, who was allegedly slapped by a female CISF constable during a security check at the Chandigarh Airport on Thursday.
According to our sources, Kangana, who is also a BJP MP, claimed she was struck in the face and verbally abused by the constable. The incident has sparked widespread reactions from the film industry.
Shabana Azmi took to X (formerly Twitter) to express her concerns, stating, “I have no love lost for Kangana Ranaut. But I can’t find myself joining this chorus of celebrating ‘the slap’. If security personnel start taking law into their hands, none of us can be safe.”
Anupam Kher, speaking to the paparazzi at the sidelines of an event, expressed his regret: “I deeply regret it. The way a woman slapped another woman by taking advantage of her position is wrong. This should be legally investigated. She can have grievances, but it shouldn’t be done by taking advantage of their power.”
He further added, “There are democratic ways of saying that what you have said in the past which has affected. But to do something like this is very sad and unfortunate. Not only because now Kangana is an MP or actress, but Kangana is a woman. I think any kind of violence towards anybody, forget about women, isn’t right. Tomorrow anyone can do this to anyone on any matter and later make excuses. This is wrong.”
Shekhar Suman and his son Adhyayan Suman also shared their thoughts. Shekhar stated, “It was very wrong. It was unfortunate. This shouldn’t happen with anyone. No one has the right to do this. This is illegal what she has done. She should get punished for this. I understand that she might have some anger or protest in her mind but the way it was expressed was very wrong. It could also have been said in a decent manner…You can’t raise your hand on anyone like this.” Adhyayan Suman, standing next to his father, nodded in agreement.
The incident occurred just two days after Kangana was elected to the Lok Sabha from Mandi in Himachal Pradesh. Officials reported that the constable, who appeared to be upset with Kangana over her stance on the farmer protests, has been suspended and an FIR lodged against her. The Central Industrial Security Force (CISF), responsible for airport security, has also ordered a court of inquiry into the incident.
