Kangana Ranaut’s post supporting Will Smith for smacking Chris Rock at the 2022 Oscars has resurfaced after she criticized those defending the CISF constable who slapped her.
Kangana Ranaut, who is now a newly elected MP, was allegedly slapped by a CISF constable at the Chandigarh airport. The matter quickly gained traction and became headlines. Amidst the controversy, internet users have dug up Kangana’s old post where she supported Hollywood actor Will Smith, who slapped Chris Rock at the Oscars after the latter joked about the former’s wife, actor Jada Pinkett Smith. Now, the Tejas actor’s post is doing rounds on the internet.
What Kangana Said in Support of Will Smith
In 2022, following Will’s action — for which he later apologized to The Academy — which divided opinions, Kangana expressed her support on Instagram Stories. She defended the actor for slapping Chris, who was the presenter at the Oscars that year. Kangana posted a picture of Will smacking Chris and remarked that she would have taken the same action if she were in Will’s position.
She wrote, “If some idiot used my mom or sister’s illness to make a bunch of fools laugh I would slap him like @willsmith did… bada*** move…”
Take a look here:

A Look Back at Kangana’s Slap Controversy
On Thursday, a CISF constable reportedly slapped Kangana at the Chandigarh airport. Following the incident, Kangana shared her views on the matter and also slammed people from the industry who supported the CISF constable. Taking to X, the BJP leader and actor tweeted, “Every rapist, murderer, or thief always has a strong emotional, physical, psychological, or financial reason to commit a crime; no crime ever happens without a reason, yet they are convicted and sentenced to jail. If you are aligned with the criminal’s strong emotional impulse to commit a crime violating all laws of the land.”
She further wrote, “Remember, if you are okay with breaking into someone’s intimate zone, without their permission, touching their bodies, and assaulting them, then deep down you are okay with rape or murder also because that’s also just penetration or a stab; only what big deal? You must look deeper into your psychological criminal tendencies. I suggest you take up yoga and meditation, or else life will become a bitter and burdensome experience. Don’t carry so much grudge, hate, and jealousy. Please, free yourself.”
Internet Reacts
Users took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to share their opinions. One user wrote, “As per Kangana Ranaut, Will Smith can hit someone for making a joke on his wife, but another woman can’t hit her for calling her mother ‘₹100 mein baithne wali’ (someone worth ₹100) and asking to behead her farmer father?? Hypocrisy ki seema (There should be a limit to hypocrisy) guys…” Another said, “Perfect. Shows her hypocrisy and victim mentality when she is at fault!” One also commented, “But a celebrity is not supposed to say things like this. Just because she is poor, the action was taken against her (CISF constable); what about action against her (Kangana)?”
