Paresh Rawal finds link between Will Smith’s slap and Ukraine-Russia war at Oscars 2022

Will Smith sparked a global controversy by slapping Oscars 2022 host and comic Chris Rock for mocking his wife Jada’s medical issue. While the internet debate continues over the incident, actor Paresh Rawal has found a unique parallel between the Oscar slap gate and the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine. “Comedians are in danger everywhere, be it Chris or Zelensky,” the actor tweeted on Tuesday.

Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky was also a comedian and TV host before running for the presidency in 2018.

Actress Kangana Ranaut also shared her reaction to the slap controversy at the Oscars and supported Smith for her action. Sharing a screengrab of Smith slapping Chris, the Queen actor wrote that if someone had joked about her mother or sister’s medical condition, she would have reacted like Smith.

The feud between Smith and Chris began when the Oscars host pinched Jada’s shaved head. Referring to Jada, the comedian had said, “GI Jane 2. Can’t wait to see this.” Released in 1997, GI Jane is a war drama starring Demi Moore as the (fictional) first female Navy SEAL to be shaved. his head. Joke intended to make fun of Jada’s lack of hair. She had previously been diagnosed with alopecia, a condition that causes hallucinations of hair.
