Nakuul Mehta, known for his portrayal in Bade Acche Lagte Hain 2 and his acting debut in the Telugu film Abhimaani, recently found himself in hot water after a controversial tweet regarding the CISF woman who slapped Mandi Lok Sabha MP Kangana Ranaut at Chandigarh airport.
The Incident and Mehta’s Tweet Kangana Ranaut’s altercation at the Chandigarh airport, where she was slapped by a CISF constable, sparked debate across the entertainment industry. Mehta took to Twitter to comment on the incident, asking, “Who will play the lead role in Kulwinder’s biopic?” referring to the constable involved. This tweet ignited backlash from Kangana’s fans and others who deemed Mehta’s comment insensitive and inappropriate.
Backlash from Fans and Social Media Users Mehta’s tweet received swift criticism from social media users, with many expressing disappointment in his insensitivity and calling for him to focus on his acting career. One user questioned Mehta’s tweet, asking if they would be justified in harming him simply because they disliked his posts. Others labeled Mehta as a “failed actor” seeking attention and suggested he stick to acting rather than making controversial statements.
Some users expressed their disappointment, citing their previous admiration for Mehta’s work and suggesting that his recent remarks had tarnished their perception of him. Additionally, others criticized Mehta for not condemning the violence and instead choosing to make a controversial statement.
Response to Criticism Despite the backlash, Mehta has not publicly responded to the criticism or issued an apology for his tweet. However, the incident serves as a reminder of the importance of sensitivity and responsibility when discussing contentious issues on social media, particularly for public figures like Mehta.
The backlash against Mehta’s tweet underscores the need for individuals to consider the implications of their words and actions, especially in the context of sensitive topics such as violence and public safety. As discussions around such incidents continue, it’s essential for individuals to engage in constructive dialogue and avoid contributing to further division and controversy.
