Celebs react to Kangana getting slapped by CISF officer
Shekhar Suman and Adhyayan Suman
Actor Adhyayan Suman, who was last seen in Heeramandi, has reacted to her ex-girlfriend and actress-turned-politician, Kangana Ranaut, being slapped. He was spotted at an event where his father Shekhar said, “It’s absolutely wrong irrespective of whoever it’s happened with,” Shekhar told Instant Bollywood. “She is now a respected MP from Mandi. Even if you want to protest, there’s a civilised way of doing it. But this kind of act is unacceptable.” When asked Adhyayan about the same, he said, “I completely agree with him (his father). Even if you have a personal grudge, it is very wrong to take it out publicly. This should not have happened.”
Anupam Kher calls the incident unfortunate
Reacting to the incident, Anupam told Instant Bollywood, “It’s very unfortunate. It shouldn’t have happened especially from someone who is a security personnel. Jo bhi grievances hai usko alag tarike se pesh karne chahiye. I feel women of India should react to it, not just because Kangana is an MP, but she is also a woman.”
Shabana Azmi reaction
Taking to X( formerly Twitter), Azmi tweeted, “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.”
Raveena Tandon condemns violence hooliganism in society
Tandon tweeted, “In a world where public scrutiny is relentless, it is essential to remember that women achievers are human too. Disparaging them solely for their fame is unfair and harmful. This increasing violence against women and children world over needs to be addressed urgently.”
Why was Kangana Ranaut slapped?
While it remains unclear what provoked the CISF jawan to attack the newly-elected MP, it is being said that she was reportedly upset with some of Kangana’s previous statements about the farmers’ protest in India. Kulwinder Kaur said that Kangana gave a bad statement about Punjab women during the farmers’ agitation against three farm laws.
