Annu Kapoor's remark on Kangana Ranaut's slap incident : Sparks controversy

Veteran actor Annu Kapoor recently stirred controversy with his remarks on Kangana Ranaut, following her encounter with CISF personnel at Chandigarh airport after winning the Mandi Lok Sabha seat. During promotions for his film 'Hum Do Humare Baraah,' Kapoor expressed disbelief upon hearing about Ranaut, questioning her identity and beauty.

He asked '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? (Who is this Kangana? Is she a big heroine? Is she beautiful?).' He discovered later that she had become an MP. He then confessed to feeling envious due to her beauty and subsequent power,'Ek sundar hai toh hume waese hi unse jalan horahi hai kyuki hum toh bohut bhadde...aadmi hai. Uske baad powerful hai. Aap bolrahe hai kisi officer nein unhe thappad maar diya? Toh unko puri kaarwahi karni chahiye definitely.'

In response, Kangana took to Instagram to question Kapoor's comment. The actor 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?' Her post ignited a social media debate.
