When questioned about the slap incident, she said, “Ye kya kar rahe hai aap,” while dodging the reporter’s microphone. The reporter persisted, asking, “Ma’am what are you doing? I was just asking you a question,” to which Kangana responded with a stern look, escalating the tension. Eventually, security personnel intervened, escorting her inside the Parliament building.
Earlier that day, Kangana Ranaut took to Instagram to share her thoughts on the incident. She posted a tweet from former Indian Army Officer Gaurav Arya, who commented on the CISF constable, Kulwinder Kaur, and her actions. Arya’s tweet said Kaur’s actions were politically motivated, possibly to gain support by aligning with “the Khalistani movement”. “CISF constable Kulwinder Kaur who attacked Kangana Ranaut will be punished. She may lose her job. That is what she probably planned all along. This whole thing about supporting the farmer’s protest is utter nonsense,” Arya wrote.
Kangana Ranaut echoed Arya’s sentiments in her post, alleging Kaur’s actions were strategic and politically charged. She alleged that Kaur had approached her in a “signature Khalistani style,” hitting her without any provocation. “This makes most sense to me, she strategically waited for me to cross her and in a signature Khalistani style quietly came from behind and hit my face without saying a word,” Kangana wrote. As a newly elected BJP MP from Mandi, Himachal Pradesh, Kangana was en route to Delhi when the incident occurred.
