Kangana Ranaut, Bollywood actress and Himachal Pradesh’s newly elected MP from Mandi constituency, lashed out at the film industry on Friday for not supporting her after the ‘slapgate’ incident at Chandigarh airport. On Thursday, a woman CISF constable, Kulwinder Kaur, allegedly hit Ranaut ‘in the face’ at the airport.
A day after the incident, the Queen actress criticised Bollywood’s stoic silence in a series of now-deleted Instagram posts. She referred to the industry as the ‘All Eyes on Rafah Gang’ and expressed disappointment at their lack of support.

In her Instagram story, the BJP MP-elect wrote, “Dear film industry you all are either celebrating or are totally mum on the airport attack on me remember if tomorrow if you walking disarmingly on some 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].”

Actress Devoleena Bhattacharjee, known for her role in the TV show Saath Nibhana Saathiya, supported Kangana Ranaut. Condemning the assault, she said, “Such actions represent a severe breach of public trust and security protocols.”

She further said, “Supporting the actions of this CISF officer means justifying a crime and spreading unnecessary hatred. It is crucial to remember that endorsing such behaviour sets a dangerous precedent, potentially allowing others to take personal revenge under the guise of authority. We must collectively condemn this act and ensure that those in positions of power are held accountable.”
