Kangana Ranaut was extremely disturbed by the incident and declared, "Pakistan ban is not the focus, Pakistan destruction is." She also slammed the "anti-nationals" of Bollywood who continued to maintain relations with Pakistan and Pakistani artistes even after the Uri attack.
At the India Today Conclave 2019, the actress opened up about her remarks and said that it an "instinctive sentiment". "It was just a very instinctive sentiment that we all felt at that time when we were faced with that shocking incident. It was possibly the most brutal and the most inhuman in centuries and it will always be a deep wound in all our conscience. I was deeply moved by the brutality," she said.
Kangana, who is known to speak her mind at all times, added, "You cannot be such a victim of your mind that at that moment, you are letting your thought process take over and be like, 'What is the best response to this? Let me think about it.' I don't think every statement of mine has to be politically correct. I felt to go to the border, snatch someone's gun and do the deed. That was my instinct."
