Kangana slap incident: Raveena Tandon & others finally back actress-turned-MP after she criticises Bollywood's silence

In the wake of actor-turned-politician Kangana Ranaut's criticism of the Bollywood industry for its partial silence following yesterday's slap attack at Chandigarh airport on her, a few of public personlities, including actress Raveena Tandon, have finally spoken out in Ranaut's support. Kangana Ranaut criticised Bollywood celebrities for sharing 'All eyes on Rafah' posts recently while not standing up for her. The actress turned MP has now deleted her Instagram story.

Ranaut said on Thursday she was slapped by a CISF officer during a security check as she was en route to New Delhi for an NDA meeting.

Kangana Ranaut took to Instagram to call out the film industry for not supporting her, saying, "Dear film industry, you all are either celebrating or are totally mum on the airport attack on me. Remember, if tomorrow you are 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."

Actress Raveena Tandon responded on Twitter, expressing her disapproval. "In a world where public scrutiny is relentless, it is essential to remember that women achievers are human too. Disparaging them solely for their fame is unfair and harmful. This increasing violence against women and children world over needs to be addressed urgently." Tandon tweeted.

Though Raveena did not directly mention that the tweet was related to the Kangana slap incident, but hints were enough for people online who related her words with Kangana.

Raveena also added, "It¡¯s time we stand united against violence and hooliganism."

Raveena's tweet also comes at a time when she was also attacked a few days ago in an alleged rash driving incident where she was hit by mob in Mumbai. Then Kangana had also reacted in her support.
