Actress-turned-politician Kangana Ranaut has received significant support from Bollywood after an alleged altercation with a CISF constable at the Chandigarh airport. Stars like Hrithik Roshan, Alia Bhatt, Sonakshi Sinha, Zoya Akhtar, Soni Razdan, Arjun Kapoor, and Prajakta Koli have shown their solidarity with Ranaut.
The incident occurred on Thursday when Kangana was heading to Delhi, just a day after winning the 2024 Lok Sabha elections from Mandi, Himachal Pradesh, as a BJP candidate.
Other celebrities, including Anupam Kher, Mika Singh, Raveena Tandon, and Shekhar Suman, also condemned the incident.
Journalist Faye D’Souza shared her thoughts on Instagram, condemning the act. She wrote, “Violence is never the answer. Especially not in a country rooted in Gandhi’s ideals of non-violence. No matter how much we disagree with someone’s views, reacting with violence is not acceptable, especially from uniformed security personnel.”
She highlighted the danger of security personnel reacting violently, posing a scenario where dissenters could be attacked at airports by constables who agree with the authorities. This post was liked by Hrithik Roshan, Alia Bhatt, Arjun Kapoor, Sonakshi Sinha, Zoya Akhtar, and Soni Razdan, among others.
On Saturday, Kangana Ranaut addressed those supporting the CISF personnel involved with a lengthy note. She argued that while every crime has a reason, it doesn’t justify the act. “Every rapist, murderer, or thief has a strong emotional, physical, psychological, or financial reason to commit a crime. No crime happens without a reason, yet they are convicted and sentenced. If you align with the criminal’s reasons, you are violating the laws of the land,” she wrote.
The incident has sparked a debate on the conduct of security personnel and the appropriate response to public figures in controversial situations.
