On Thursday, the news of BJP MP and actress Kangana Ranaut getting slapped by a CISF guard named Kulwinder Kaur at the Chandigarh airport went viral on social media like wildfire.
Now, Bollywood members have reacted to the slap incident. Taking to X, Shabana 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.”

At the sideline of an event, Anupam Kher told a paparazzi, “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 another woman by taking power 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.
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 .

Shekhar Suman and son Adhyayan, who were present at the event also reacted to the incident as the Utsav star 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.”
