Annu Kapoor fails to recognise Kangana Ranaut when he was asked about her slap incident and here’s how the Queen actress reacted
Bollywood actor Annu Kapoor recently reacted to an incident involving actor-politician Kangana Ranaut being allegedly slapped by a CISF constable at the Chandigarh airport. Initially, Kapoor tried to avoid the topic by pretending not to recognize her. However, he eventually commented that she should have taken legal action. During a press conference for his upcoming film, Hamare Baarah, Kapoor was asked about the incident. He responded with feigned ignorance, asking, “Yeh Kangana ji kaun hain? Please batao na kaun hain? Zaahir hai aap pooch rahe hain toh koi bahut badi heroine hongi? Sundar hain kya? (Who is this Kangana? Is she a big heroine? Is she beautiful?)”
A media person then reminded him that Kangana is a newly elected Member of Parliament from Mandi. To this, Kapoor replied, “Oho woh bhi ho gayi! Abhi toh bahut shaktishaali ho gayi hain. (Oh, she has become that too. She is powerful now).” When pressed further, Kapoor suggested that Kangana should pursue legal action against the CISF constable, noting that he would have done the same if he were in her position.
The incident occurred days after Kangana won the Lok Sabha election in Mandi, Himachal Pradesh, on a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) ticket. She was travelling to New Delhi for a National Democratic Alliance meeting when she alleged that a CISF constable, Kulwinder Kaur, slapped her at the Chandigarh International Airport. Kangana claimed the assault was due to her recent comments on Khalistan. Following the incident, an FIR was filed against Kulwinder.
