Annu Kapoor clapped back at Kangana Ranaut.
Annu Kapoor said that Kangana Ranaut should focus on her work as an MP.
Annu Kapoor has clapped back at Kangana Ranaut for replying to his statement about her being slapped and asking if people hate beautiful and powerful women. Annu Kapoor said that Kangana should focus on her ministerial duties instead of paying heed to this issue.
Annu Kapoor told the Hindustan Times, “I am not interested in anybody’s beauty or power. Apna achha kaam karo. You have been entrusted with such a big responsibility, work for the motherland, if you can. Bekaar ki cheezon pe dhyaan mat kheencho apna.”
He added, “This word called ‘hatred’ doesn’t exist in my mind, psyche or dictionary. I don’t hate anyone. Somebody told me all this is going on after she replied. So I wrote a letter addressed to her and my media person posted it on my account.”
He further added, “I love my wife and respect her like a goddess, my sister too. They are women, so I love every woman on this Earth. Toh yeh iss tarah ki chhoti baatein Annu Kapoor ke saath nahi karein that I am ‘jealous’ of beauty or power. Not knowing any person or place isn’t considered a crime. You can call me ignorant. I don’t watch films, so me not knowing who someone is should not be treated as a crime. Aaj kal ke bacche, God bless them.”
For the unversed, when Annu Kapoor was asked to comment on Kangana Ranaut being slapped, he said, “Yeh Kangana ji kaun hain? Please batao na kaun hain? Zaahir hai aap pooch rahe hain toh koi bahut badi heroine hongi? Sundar hain kya?” When a media person shared she is now an elected MP from Mandi, Kapoor said, “Oho woh bhi ho gayi! Abhi toh bahut shaktishaali ho gayi hain. Ek sundar hai toh hume waese hi unse jalan horahi hai kyuki hum toh bohut bhadde…aadmi hai. Uske baad powerful hai. Aap bolrahe hai kisi officer nein unhe thappad maar diya? Toh unko puri kaarwahi karni chahiye definitely.”
To this, Kangana replied on her Instagram story, “Do you agree with Annu Kapoor ji that we tend to hate a successful woman, hate her more if she is beautiful and hate her even more passionately if she is powerful? Is it true?”
Kangana Ranaut was slapped by a CISF officer at the Chandigarh Airport while she was on her way to Delhi to after winning the Mandi seat in the 2024 Lok Sabha Elections.
