A video showing actress-turned-politician Khushbu Sundar slapping a man over alleged misbehaviour during a Congress rally in Bengaluru has gone viral on the social media.
In the brief video clip available on Twitter, the Congress spokesperson is seen jostling for space in a crowd and then suddenly turning and slapping a man before a policeman takes him away.
Job Well Done, Praises for Khushbu
As the clip went viral, Khushbu did not offer any comment of her own but retweeted the remarks made by her followers and some media reports.
A media report on the incident, which was retweeted by the actress, states that the incident took place during a road show when she was campaigning for Central Congress candidate Rizwan Arshad.
The former actress was praised on social media users for showing “courage” and not tolerating any misbehaviour.
“That’s a job well done. Nobody has the right to abuse and if he does then he should be punished,” one of the followers said.
“Bold lady forever. Big inspiration for every girl in this critical world,” wrote another social media user.
Even as one Twitter user stated that the person from the crowd who allegedly misbehaved with Khushbu was from Congress’ rally, she replied saying that her response – of slapping the man – would have been the same, irrespective of the person’s political leaning.
