Actor Annu Kapoor recently shared his thoughts on the reported incident involving Kangana Ranaut and a CISF constable at the Chandigarh airport. The controversy has drawn significant attention, with Kapoor initially attempting to deflect the topic by pretending not to recognize Kangana. When questioned, Kapoor responded with, “Yeh Kangana ji kaun hain? Please batao na kaun hain? Zaahir hai aap pooch rahe hain toh koi bahut badi heroine hongi? Sundar hain kya?” (Who is this Kangana? Is she a big heroine? Is she beautiful?)
However, upon being reminded by a media person that Kangana is a newly elected MP from Mandi, Kapoor acknowledged her new political role, saying, “Oho woh bhi ho gayi! Abhi toh bahut shaktishaali ho gayi hain.” (Oh, she has become that too. She is powerful now). Kapoor ultimately suggested that Kangana should pursue legal action against the CISF personnel involved in the incident, stating that he would have done the same in her position.
Incident at Chandigarh Airport and Bollywood Reactions
The incident in question occurred shortly after Kangana Ranaut’s victory in the Lok Sabha election in Mandi, Himachal Pradesh, representing the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). On her way to New Delhi for a National Democratic Alliance (NDA) meeting, Kangana alleged that she was slapped by a CISF constable named Kulwinder Kaur at Chandigarh International Airport. According to Kangana, the attack was motivated by her recent remarks on Khalistan. An FIR was subsequently filed against Kulwinder Kaur.
The incident sparked various reactions from Bollywood celebrities, many of whom have had contentious relationships with Kangana. Notable figures like Hrithik Roshan, Alia Bhatt, Zoya Akhtar, and Soni Razdan were seen liking social media posts about the event. Veteran actor Shabana Azmi also commented on X, condemning the violence despite her differences with Kangana, stating, “I have no love lost for Kangana, but I condemn the celebration of violence inflicted on her.”
The controversy surrounding Kangana Ranaut continues to unfold, drawing attention to both her political and entertainment industry roles. As a prominent figure, her experiences and public reactions highlight the complexities of fame and political involvement in India.
