On the afternoon of June 6, actor-turned-politician Kangana Ranaut was travelling to Delhi from Chandigarh when a female CISF official slapped her inside the airport. Kangana has recently been elected as a Member of Parliament from Himachal Pradesh’s Mandi. The incident happened near the security check area of Chandigarh airport. The CISF official in question, Kulwinder Kaur, justified her act as a response to Kangana’s statement against the farmer’s protest that took place in India between 2020-2021.
Republic Bharat, known for its over-the-top coverage of trending news, took this opportunity to come up with a hilarious video for the Kangana Ranaut-Kulwinder Kaur incident. Since there is no video evidence of Kaur slapping Ranaut, Republic Bharat came up with its own graphic.

Republic is not a news channel… It’s a circus https://t.co/VowuWUHQbD
