It turned out to be a shock for everyone when one of the audience members walked up to the India's Raw Star host Gauahar Khan during the grand finale and slapped her for wearing a skimpy outfit.

Interestingly, Arjun Kapoor was there too as the special guest.

The whole incident has left Arjun quite disturbed.

Arjun has worked with Gauahar in his first film Ishaqzaade and shares a great rapport with her. He reveals that he was present on the sets of the show when the incident took place.

" It happened when I was there. I heard her screaming and when I turned up, by then he had already slapped her and had been taken out by the securtiy. I took Gauahar to her make up room. It was important at that time to get her out of that crowd. It has affected me to the point that I am completely shaken and disturb," Arjun says. " I want to spit on ourselves for the kind of men we are. It's humiliating for the entire nation because there are still such men in this country. I have worked with Gauahar. I know her really well. I spoke to her that night.

Whatever happened is extremely sad," Arjun adds.

He further expresses his anger on the entire episode. " I am appalled that Indian men have such a shallow thought process.

I think that man will get what he deserves and law will put him to his real place. No man should ever think that that he has a right to raise his hand on anybody.

There can't be any excuse for doing such a thing. There's a way to express. She is a free woman and it's a free country but who are you to raise your hand on somebody? How can you be judgmental about somebody? If you are a man, does that mean you will take advantage of it? This is a very wrong thought," Arjun says. He confesses that he lost his cool when he got to know about this but somehow controlled himself. " I am not a violent person or have raised my hand on anybody.

I hope I never do that but when I see situations and circumstances like what has happened, I really wish ki ek baar haath saaf kar leta," Arjun adds.

No man should ever think that he has a right to raise his hand on anybody. There can't be any excuse for doing such a thing. There's a way to express.

Bit rich coming from someone who has been mentored by a woman-thrasher; someone he idolizes.

I'm always perplexed by some of the friendships and loyalties towards Salman Khan. Preity Zinta who was always about women power etc was always close to Salman too.


But within the context if this topic I say good for Arjun for making a statement. I wish more of Bollywood had said something. Then again this industry barely said boo in support of Preity after her case against Wadia. But maybe Arjun should amend his statement to say he cannot believe he belongs to an industry filled with people who chose to ignore mistreatment of women.

y do u forget that what he faced in real life was very hard... His father cheated on his mother with a muh boli behen, and got her pregnant... He missed his father for entire life. You should have seen KWK...he was on the brink of crying...he has had a rough past in which he only had his mother. I guess thats why he respects women so much😳

listen...m not a fan of Salman Khan...infact i hate him and most people here know that😛
But the point is, he is a different individual... he was just mentored a li'l bit by Salman... but watever Salman's personal life was, doesnt mean that he will also influence others by it! More importantly, his support for Gauahar definitely shows his humanity and respect for women! Moreover, why would u judge a person by his mentor? Now u might say his father was a cheater so he will also be a cheater...but thats not fair😕
