On June 6, Kangana Ranaut was involved in an assault incident when a CISF constable at the Chandigarh airport reportedly slapped her. The actress, who has been elected to the Lok Sabha from her hometown Mandi, claimed that she was hit in the face and abused by the woman during security check at the Chandigarh airport on Thursday. The video of the incident also went viral on social media. On Instagram, Kangana, who is outspoken on various issues concerning the film industry and national politics, questioned the silence of her film industry colleagues during this entire episode.

You are either celebrating or...: Kangana Questions Bollywood's silence in assault case

Kangana has earlier reassured fans on social media that she was fine after being assaulted at the Chandigarh airport by a woman in uniform. On Friday, in her Instagram stories, she wrote, "Dear film industry, you are either celebrating or are totally mum on the airport attack on me remember if tomorrow you are walking disarmingly on the street of your country or anywhere else in the world and some Israeli/Palestinian hits you or your children just because you tried to bring eyes to Rafah or stood up for Israeli hostage then you will see I will be fighting for your rights of free speech if someday you wonder why I am where I am remember you are not me (sic)."

However, later she deleted this Insta story from her handle.

Kangana issues statement after assault incident

In a video statement titled "Shocking rise in terror and violence in Punjab" posted on X after she landed in Delhi, the Queen actress said she was safe and fine.

Recapping in detail what had happened, Kangana said she had been getting a lot of calls from the media and her well-wishers. The constable, she said, came towards her from the side. "She hit me in the face and started abusing me. I asked her why she did it and she said she supports the farmer protests." "I am safe but my concern is that terrorism is increasing in Punjab... How do we handle that?" Another video doing the rounds of social media showed the agitated constable talking to people presumably after the incident.
