Kangana Ranaut
Two days after being elected as BJP MP from Himachal Pradesh's Mandi, actress Kangana Ranaut has hit the news. The actress who on her way to Delhi from Chandigarh airport has alleged that a CISF security official at Chandigarh Airport slapped her at the airport.
According to Ranaut, while she was proceeding to the boarding point at the airport to travel to Delhi by UK707 flight, the CISF official, Kulwinder Kaur, allegedly argued with her and slapped her. After arriving in Delhi, Kangana met CISF Director General Nina Singh and other senior officials and explained the episode to them.
A video shared on X shows the commotion inside the airport following the incident. Kaur allegedly slapped Kangana at the security checkpoint after she refused to put her mobile phone in the tray for the mandatory security check. She's then said to have pushed aside the security personnel on duty.
It was also alleged by eyewitnesses that Kaur was upset with Kangana because of her earlier remarks on the protests by the farmers.
