Arjun Kapoor attended India's Raw Star's grand finale on Sunday night as a guest promoting his new film Tevar but little could he apprehend what would happen next. In a shocking turn of events, his Ishaqzaade co-star Gauhar Khan, who was hosting that event was teased and slapped by a man from the crowd.
Gauhar Khan allegedly teased and slapped at India’s Raw Star finale for 'wearing short clothes'
When Arjun was asked about the incident, he paused for a second and continued, "No matter what you say about the incident, it will fall less. It is the most disgusting thing I have ever been a witness to and I am appalled that some Indian men have a thought process that is so lowly. I think what that man deserves is what he will get hopefully. The law will put him in his place"
While the man claimed that he slapped Gauhar for the short clothes she wears, Arjun discards everything, calling the entire fiasco 'ridiculous'. "There can be no reason good enough to act like this. You can get upset or angry about things but there's way of expressing yourself and your opinions. India is after all, a free country, it is a democracy. Who are you? Who are you to decide what somebody should wear? Who are you to raise hands on somebody? How can you be judgmental about anybody? The guy thought he will slap her and show his mardangi! But what kind of a mardare you when you are making use of your manhood in such an inappropriate manner?"
Not just for the safety of women, Arjun batted against humiliation in any form , meted to any individual, regardless of his gender. "No man should ever think he has the right to raise his hands on anybody, let alone a woman", said a visibly angry Arjun.
