Why Kangana was hit at Chandigarh airport?

Summarizing in detail what had happened that day, Kangana Ranaut stated that the accused constable approached her from the side when she was waiting in the security check area. She alleged that the security personnel hit her and began hurling abuses at her, apparently without any provocation.

The alleged incident occurred around 3 pm at the security checkpoint before Ranaut’s flight. Some reports suggest that the conflict occurred after Ranaut did not pay attention to the constable’s instructions to put her phone on the tray during the routine security frisking.

When Kangana was asked why she was hit, she stated that the constable, Kulwinder Kaur was a supporter of the farmer’s protests.

“She hit me in the face and started abusing me. I asked her why she did it, and she said she supports the farmer protests.”

A video doing the rounds of social media shows the angry constable speaking to people assumably after the incident. Kulwinder Kaur is heard saying,

“Kangana made a statement that farmers were protesting in Delhi because they were paid ₹100 or ₹200. At the time, my mother was one of the protesters”

Kangana issued an office statement on the incident

Ms. Ranaut stated,

“The incident that took place at Chandigarh airport today happened at a security check. As soon as I left after doing the security check, the woman in the second cabin, who is also a security guard of CISF waited for me to cross the bay. She came from the other side and hit me on my face and started abusing me. When I asked her why she did this, she said that she supports the farmers’ protest. I am safe, but my concern is that terrorism and violence is increasing in Punjab. How do we handle that? Thank you.”

“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 the world over needs to be addressed urgently. It’s time we stand united against violence and hooliganism.”

There are several reasons that are coming up for the assault incident, but no one knows for sure why it happened.
