Swara Bhasker Reacts to Kangana Ranaut Being Slapped; Says 'She Was Only Slapped, People Are Actually Dying'

Swara Bhasker, who is on sabbatical after becoming a mother, recently commented on the incident where Kangana Ranaut was slapped at the airport by a CISF officer reportedly angry over her statements during the farmers' protest. Many have condemned the incident and questioned the security measures. Swara also condemned the act but mentioned that while Kangana was only slapped, many people have lost their lives.

In an interview with a senior journalist, Swara said, "There is nobody who will justify the violence or an act of assault which Kangana suffered. So yes, what happened with her was wrong and shouldn’t have happened. It is not right to assault anyone. What people were telling Kangana’s right-wing supporters was that they shouldn’t be speaking up about this, because they are those who justify lynching."

Swara, who has worked with Kangana in "Tanu Weds Manu," added, "Kangana just got slapped – and even that should not have happened – but at least she is alive, and has her security around. In this country, people have lost their lives, they’ve been lynched to death, shot dead in a train by a security personnel, in riots, security personnel have been recorded beating up people."

Swara further stated, "The problem with the Kangana case is that she herself has used her platform to justify violence. Her past tweets resurfaced, including the one for which she was banned from Twitter, where she has almost called for a genocide… Then she had also justified Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars, saying that if her mother or sister was abused, she would have also slapped someone. So now what do you say? What happened to her wasn’t right, and the one who did that has already been suspended and punished. So there, justice has been served, but those who have been killed in the last ten years in the country, the perpetrators are roaming free."
