Many Bollywood celebrities, who Kangana Ranaut was at odds with, have come out to condemn the recent incident of the actor-turned-MP being slapped by a CISF constable at the Chandigarh International Airport last week. The most recent addition to that list is filmmaker Karan Johar. At the trailer launch of his co-production “Kill” held in Mumbai on Wednesday evening, Karan was asked by a member of the media for his reaction to the incident involving Kangana getting slapped by a CISF constable.
Karan replied, “Dekhiye (See), I don’t support or condone any form of violence, verbal or physical,” ending his brief statement with a sly smile. Days after Ranaut won the Lok Sabha election in Mandi, Himachal Pradesh under the ticket of Bhartiya Janata Party, she was on her way to New Delhi to attend a meeting of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) that BJP is a part of. She reported that as she was crossing the security arrangements at the Chandigarh International Airport, a CISF constable named Kulwinder Kaur slapped her on her face. Kangana stated that the reason of this was her recent remarks on Khalistan. An FIR against Kulwinder Kaur was filed consequently.
After the incident, journalist Faye D’Souza wrote a Facebook post , criticizing the violence especially when it comes from the airport security. A myriad of Bollywood celebrities who’ve had beef with Kangana, including her ex Hrithik Roshan, Alia Bhatt, Zoya Akhtar, and Soni Razdan among others liked the post. Veteran actor Shabana Azmi also wrote on X that while she has no love lost for Kangana, she’d condemn the celebration of violence imposed on her. Karan Johar has also had a massive altercation with Kangana. It all started when Ranaut called him the “flag-bearer of nepotism” on his chat show Koffee with Karan back in the year 2017.
