Actress-turned-politician Kangana Ranaut has been in the news all week. Earlier this week she made news for her win in the Lok Sabha elections 2024 as she won the Mandi seat in Himachal Pradesh for BJP. On Thursday, she made headlines after getting slapped by a CISF constable at the Chandigarh airport, Ranaut was on her way to Delhi to attend the NDA meeting. After the incident, the CISF official was suspended for attacking Ranaut and an FIR was lodged against the constable. Several celebrities have also reacted to the slap incident.


Shabana Azmi reaction:


Veteran actor Shabana Azmi took to her social media handle to react on the matter. While the actress's political thoughts do not align with that of Knagana, she said she would not celebrate the slap. "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," she wrote. 


Anupam Kher reaction:

Speaking to the paparazzi at the sideline of an event, Anupam Kher said, "Mujhe bara afsos hua. Ek mahila k saath ek mahila k dwaara jo apne position ka fayeda uthakar is tarah ki harqat ki, bilkul ghalat hai. Iski kanooni karwaayi honi chahiye. Unka koi bhi rosh hai, main yeh nahi keh raha hoon k inka rosh nhi ho sakta jisne aesa kiya, but yeh apne audhe ka ya position ka fayeda uthakar nahi karna chahiye (I deeply regret it. The way a woman slapped anoth woman by taking powr of her position it's wrong. This should be legally investigated. She can have grievances, but it shouldn't be done by taking advantage of their power)."

"Bohut hi democratic ways hai (There are democratic ways) of saying that what you have said in the past which has affected. But to do something like this is very sad and unfortunate. Not only because now Kangana in an MP or actress, Kangana is a woman. I think any kind of violence towards anybody, forget about women, isn't right. Kal ho koi bhi kisi ko bhi kisi bhi baat pe is tarah ki harkat kar sakta hai aur bahana bana sakta hai. Ghalat baat hai (Tomorrow anyone can do this to anyone on any matter and later make excuses. This is wrong)," he added.

Shekhar and Adhyayan Suman's reaction: 

Father-son duo Shekhar and Adhyayan who were also present at the event shared their reaction to the matter. Shekhar said, "Woh ghalat hai, woh toh bohut ghalat hai. Bohut hi durbhagyepurn hai. Aesa kisi k saath nahi hona chahiye (It was very wrong. It was unfortunate. This shouldn't happen with anyone). No one has the right to do this. This is illegal what she has done. She should get punished for this. I understand that she might have some anger or protest in her mind but the way it was expressed was very wrong. It could also have been said in a decent manner...You can't raise your hand on anyone like this."  Adhyayan Suman noodedd his head in agreement with his father.
