While promoting his film Hum Do Humare Baraah, Annu Kapoor shared his thoughts on the viral video of Kangana Ranaut being slapped by CISF personnel. Kangana has since responded to the video. On Saturday, Kangana took to her Instagram stories to share the clip of Annu Kapoor's remarks.
Kangana reacted to Annu Kapoor's remarks on her slapgate incident. She wrote, “Do you agree with Annu Kapoor ji that we tend to hate a successful woman, hate her more if she is beautiful, and hate her even more passionately if she is powerful? Is it true?"
Kangana was reportedly slapped by CISF personnel at Chandigarh airport after winning the Mandi constituency in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. Reacting to the incident, Annu Kapoor asked, “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?)”
When informed that she had become an MP, Kapoor added, “Ek sundar hai toh hume waese hi unse jalan ho rahi hai kyuki hum toh bohut bhadde... aadmi hai. Uske baad powerful hai. Aap bol rahe hai kisi officer ne unhe thappad maar diya? Toh unko puri karwai karni chahiye definitely (I was already jealous that she was pretty because I am not. She is powerful too. You are telling me that some officer slapped her? Then she should definitely take legal action)."
Recently, Annu Kapoor's film Hum Do Humare Baraah received clearance for release by the Bombay High Court, which found nothing objectionable in the film regarding the Quran or the Muslim community and noted that it aimed at the upliftment of women.
Meanwhile, Kangana Ranaut's upcoming film Emergency features Anupam Kher, Shreyas Talpade, Satish Kaushik, and Milind Soman among others. The film was initially scheduled for release last year but was delayed, with the new release date yet to be announced.
