Shabana Azmi took to Twitter to share her opinion on the matter and said, “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 .”

Anupam Kher also addressed the incident during an event recently wherein he told the 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 that a woman decided to take advantage of her position and did something like this, which is completely wrong. She should be punished legally. She may have had her grievances which I agree but that doesn’t mean she express her anger by taking advantage of her position)”

He continued, “Bohut hi democratic ways hai (There are many 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 anybody. And that’s extremely wrong)”.

Meanwhile, Shekhar Suman also expressed his disappointment over the incident and shared, “Woh ghalat hai, woh toh bohut ghalat hai. Bohut hi durbhagyepurn hai. Aesa kisi k saath nahi hona chahiye (This wrong, terribly wrong. It was very unfortunate. This shouldn’t happen with anyone)”. He added, “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 showcased his agreement by nodding his head.

For the unversed, the CISF commandant slapped Kangana Ranaut at the Chandigarh airport during security check and it is being said that she did this in order to teach the actress-turned-politician a lesson as she disagreed with Ranaut’s thoughts about the farmers’ protest. The security personnel was suspended after the incident.
