Several Bollywood actors, including Hrithik Roshan, Alia Bhatt, Sonakshi Sinha, and director Zoya Akhtar, have come forward to denounce the violence and support Kangana Ranaut, who was slapped by a CISF constable at Chandigarh airport. The incident occurred after the actress made critical comments about farmers’ protests.
Journalist Faye D’Souza condemned the attack in an Instagram post, stating that violence is never the answer, especially in a country founded on Gandhi’s principles of non-violence. She emphasized the particular danger of security personnel using violence while in uniform.
Kangana Ranaut herself has criticized those who justify violence, suggesting that they take up yoga and meditation to avoid making life a bitter and burdensome experience.
The incident has sparked a debate about the appropriate response to differing opinions. Many have argued that violence is never the answer, and that we must find peaceful ways to resolve conflicts. Others have called for a stronger response to those who insult or provoke others.
The incident also highlights the ongoing tensions between the film industry and the government. Kangana Ranaut has been a vocal critic of the government in the past, and some have speculated that the attack may have been politically motivated.
