Kangana supporters slam actor Nakuul Mehta for airport incident dig, urge him to focus on acting skills first

In recent news, Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut found herself at the centre of controversy when she was attacked by CISF constable Kulwinder Kaur at the Chandigarh airport. The assault reportedly stemmed from remarks Kangana made about farmers' protests in 2021, leading to widespread criticism and concerns about safety.

Amidst the aftermath of the incident, television actor Nakuul Mehta inadvertently added fuel to the fire by making a comment that drew ire from Kangana's supporters. Nakuul, known for his roles in various television shows, took to social media to indirectly reference the assault, asking, "Who will play the lead role in Kulwinder’s biopic?" This seemingly flippant remark sparked outrage among Kangana's fans, who perceived it as insensitive and trivialising the seriousness of the situation.

Netizens quickly took to various social media platforms to express their displeasure with Nakuul's comment. Many criticised him for lacking empathy and urged him to focus on his acting career rather than making controversial statements.

Here is what Kangana supporters are saying on X (former Twitter):

One user responded to Nakuul's tweet by questioning whether he would be pleased if someone made light of a situation where he was harmed. Another user suggested that Nakuul should first learn acting before attempting to make such comments.

The incident at the Chandigarh airport left Kangana shaken but unharmed physically. Taking to social media, she addressed the public concern, reassuring her followers of her safety while expressing apprehension about the growing issue of terrorism in Punjab. According to Kangana, the CISF constable verbally abused and physically assaulted her, citing support for farmers' protests as her motive.

Meanwhile, amidst the backlash, Nakuul Mehta's professional endeavours continue. His recent appearance in "Bade Acche Lagte Hain 2 and 3" garnered attention, and he is now set to star in the upcoming web series "Daring Partners."

The show revolves around the journey of two best friends as they venture into the alcohol industry, challenging norms and navigating a male-dominated field. Alongside Nakuul, the series features Tamannaah Bhatia, Diana Penty, and Jaaved Jaaferi in prominent roles.
