The incident of
Hollywood
star
Will Smith slapping
Chris Rock issue at Oscars 2022 followed by his apology to the latter have been making a buzz across the world. In an exclusive Instagram LIVE chat with Etimes TV actress
Kushboo Sundar shared her views too. She said, "I am happy that Will
Smith
stood for his wife, even my husband Sundar. C would have reacted the same."
Will Smith recently walked onto the stage at the Dolby Theater in
Los Angeles
on Sunday evening and slapped comedian Chris Rock for making a joke about his wife's shaved head. Notably,
Jada Pinkett Smith has been suffering from alopecia. She was also seen speaking about her hair loss due to her medical condition, alopecia, publicly.
After hitting Rock, who was presenting the award ceremony, Smith returned to his seat and yelled profanity, which was censored from the US broadcast of the ceremony.
Reacting to this incident,
Khusboo
said, "I am against any kind of violence. But in this instance, in the name of comedy, a medical issue was approached insensitively. Talking about such things in a closed room is a different thing. But you are on a world platform and you cannot take somebody’s health issue and shame them in the name of a joke."
She also appreciated Will Smith for standing up. She said, "Will Smith was fierce and protective as a husband and a family member, I was happy at his reaction. My husband would have reacted the same way. If someone talks ill about me or my children in a public forum like this, That’s how my husband would react."
The actress also said, "When Will Smith apologised for his actions and walked out, there was a standing ovation for him. That shows what he did was right. And people agreed with what he did."
Earlier, Kushboo Sundar shared a picture on her social media account under the caption "#SayNoToViolence", where the actress was seen with a slap mark on her face on March 3. The picture left the fans in shock.
The fans and followers flocked into the comment section, sharing their concerns about their favourite star. Following the post, the actress dropped a video where she was seen voicing out against domestic violence on women and captioned it "#Standwithmeera".
Kushbhu Sundar highlighted that domestic violence against women is wrong, especially if it happens in front of the kids. She also encourages whosoever support the cause to give a missed call to 70955 11111, to support the cause.
