On Thursday, actor-turned-politician Kangana Ranaut encountered an unfortunate incident at Chandigarh airport, where she was allegedly slapped by a Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) personnel. She swiftly responded on social media, releasing a statement to assure her fans and the public of her safety.
In a video statement posted on her Instagram stories, Kangana detailed the incident. While reassuring everyone of her safety, she also highlighted the concerning situation in Punjab. She said, “Hello, friends! I am getting several phone calls from the media and my well-wishers. Firstly I am safe and I am perfectly fine.”
Talking about the incident she added, “The accident that happened today at Chandigarh airport was during a security check. As soon as moved forward, the CISF security guard at the other cabin waited for me to pass by her and then she hit me on my face. She also abused me. When I asked her why she hit me then she said that she is a farmer protest supporter. I am safe but my concern is how are we going to handle the rise of terrorist and extremism in Punjab.”
