"She hit me in the face and started abusing me. I asked her why she did it and she said she supports the farmer protests," Ranaut said.
The Central Industrial Security Force (CISF), responsible for airport security, has suspended Kaur and filed an FIR against her. The force has also initiated a formal inquiry into the incident.
In her political debut, Ranaut won the Mandi constituency by a margin of over 74,000 votes, defeating her closest Congress competitor. The actress has been vocal about various issues, including her support for the farm protests, which she believes led to the confrontation at the airport.
"I am safe, but my concern is that terrorism is increasing in Punjab... How do we handle that?" Ranaut added, reflecting on the broader implications of the incident.
