Annu Kapoor asks “Kaun hai” Kangana Ranaut? REACTS to her slap incident

Veteran actor Annu Kapoor is currently making headlines for his controversial upcoming film Hamare Baarah. Despite the film facing criticism before the release, the actor remains unfazed. The film is set to hit theatres nationwide on June 21. After the film received a green signal from the court, Annu Kapoor held a press conference with his entire team. During the same, he refused to recognize actress and BJP (Bharatiya Janata Party) MP Kangana Ranaut.

During the press conference for Hamare Baarah, Annu Kapoor was asked about the ‘slap incident’ involving Kangana Ranaut, to which he claimed that he doesn’t know anyone of this name. He said, “Who is this Kangana? Is she a big heroine? Is she beautiful?”

At this point, a media person informed him that Kangana recently won an election from Mandi and is now a newly elected MP. To this, Annu Kapoor gave a shocking reaction, saying, “Oh, she has become that too.” However, he stood by the actress and extended his support on the slap incident.
