In a shocking turn of events, actress and newly elected MP Kangana Ranaut was slapped by an airport security officer at Chandigarh airport on Thursday. The incident, which occurred around 3 PM as Kangana was boarding a flight, has sparked a significant nationwide uproar.

Kangana Ranaut, a renowned Bollywood actress, recently won by a huge margin in the Mandi constituency, securing her position as a Lok Sabha member. According to reports, a CISF personnel on duty at the Chandigarh airport allegedly slapped the BJP MP. Kangana's controversial remarks about the farmers protesting against the central government triggered the CISF officer reportedly.

In 2020, Kangana Ranaut made disparaging remarks about protesting farmers, which have resurfaced amidst recent events. Allegedly, the CISF officer who slapped Kangana is identified as Constable Kulwinder Kaur. Subsequently, the constable has been suspended, and an FIR has been filed against her. Kangana Ranaut responded to the incident by posting a video message on her social media platforms.

In the video, the actress-turned-MP says, "I am safe. I am perfectly fine. The incident happened at the security check-in. The woman guard waited for me to cross. She then came from the side and hit me. She started throwing expletives. I asked why she hit me. She said 'I support farmers'. I am safe, but my concern is terrorism is rising in Punjab. How do we handle that?"
