Veteran actor
Annu Kapoor
recently commented on the incident involving Kangana Ranaut being slapped by a
CISF constable
at the
Chandigarh airport
a few weeks ago. During a
press conference
for his upcoming film Hamare Baarah, Kapoor failed to recognize Kangana when asked about the incident. However, his statement didn't sit well with Kangana.
Reacting to it, Kangana shared a clip of Kapoor's remarks on her Instagram stories and questioned whether society tends to dislike successful, beautiful, and powerful women more passionately.
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?"
Earlier in the day, when initially asked about Kangana, Kapoor seemed unaware of her identity, asking, "
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? (First tell me who is Kangana? If you are asking me about her, I am sure she must be some big heroine. Who is she? Is she beautiful?)”

When informed by a media person that the actress is now a newly elected MP from Mandi, Annu Kapoor responded, "Oho woh bhi ho gayi! Abhi toh bahut shaktishaali ho gayi hain. (Now she is an MP too? Then she is powerful).”
When pressed for more comments, the actor expressed, "I was already jealous that she was pretty because I am not, on top of that she holds power. And you are telling me that some officer slapped her? In that case, I think she should definitely take legal action against the accused.”
He further inquired if the officer was in uniform, and upon confirmation, he suggested Kangana should file an FIR against her under multiple sections.
