In a video message, the actor-politician said she had been getting a lot of call from her wellwishers. “I am safe, I am perfectly fine. The incident occurred while I was getting out of the cabin after security check. A woman CISF staffer hit me on the face from the side and started abusing me. When I asked her why she did it, she said she supports the farmers’s stir. I am safe, but my concern is that terrorism is rising in Punjab. How do we handle that”.
