Public Figures React
The incident has elicited various responses from public figures. Filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri condemned the attack, emphasizing the importance of protecting democratic values.

Uorfi Javed, known for her bold social media presence, expressed a balanced opinion. She wrote on her Instagram stories, “Don’t agree with Kangana Ranaut politically but I still feel it ain’t right to physically assault someone when you disagree with them. Not cool. Violence is never the answer.” Uorfi’s stance highlights the importance of non-violence and respectful discourse.
Vishal Dadlani’s Response
Music composer Vishal Dadlani also weighed in on the incident, adding his voice to the broader conversation about public figures and their safety. He echoed sentiments similar to Uorfi’s, stressing the need for non-violent ways to address disagreements.
Kulvinder Kaur’s Perspective
Kulvinder Kaur, the CISF constable involved, later addressed the media, explaining her actions as a response to Kangana’s controversial remarks about the farmer protests. Kaur’s statement reflects the deep emotions and sensitivities surrounding the farmer protests and the impact of public comments on individuals.
On the professional front, Kangana Ranaut is set to direct and star in the film “Emergency,” where she portrays former Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. This project is highly anticipated and marks her return to cinema amidst her political endeavors.
