Will
Smith
slapping
Chris
Rock
at
the
Oscars
ceremony
this
year
has
undoubtedly
become
one
of
the
most
controversial
celebrity
events
of
this
year.
The
former,
who
won
an
Oscar
in
the
Best
Actor
category
for
King
Richard
the
same
night,
had
walked
to
the
stage
and
slapped
the
comedian
for
making
a
joke
about
his
wife
Jada
Pinkett
Smith.
Will
was
later
banned
from
the
Oscars
for
a
decade
for
the
unsavoury
incident.
Now,
AR
Rahman
opened
up
about
the
Oscars
Slapgate
whilst
promoting
his
film
Heropanti
2
on
The
Kapil
Sharma
Show.
The
Oscar-winning
music
composer
was
accompanied
by
Tiger
Shroff,
Tara
Sutaria,
Nawazuddin
Siddiqui
and
Ahmad
Khan
as
guests
on
the
popular
show.
There,
Rahman
was
shown
a
picture
with
Smith
and
was
then
asked
about
the
controversial
incident,
to
which
he
replied,
“He
is
a
sweetheart.
He
is
a
nice
person.
Sometimes
such
things
happen.”
On
the
same
episode,
Kapil
Sharma
teased
the
musician
and
asked,
“Aap
bahut
selective
kaam
karte
hai.
Aap
choosy
zyada
hai
ya
mehenge
zyada
hai?”
To
this,
Rahman
replied,
“I
am
both.”
Kapil
then
went
ahead
and
asked
when
will
Rahman
give
him
a
chance
to
playback,
and
the
musician
said,
“I
am
waiting
for
the
right
project.”
Meanwhile,
Will
Smith
has
taken
a
professional
hit
because
of
his
actions
and
if
rumours
are
to
be
believed,
not
all
is
well
between
Will
and
Jada
post
the
infamous
incident.
According
to
the
grapevine,
the
latter
is
even
contemplating
a
divorce
and
this
might
cost
the
actor
around
350
Million
dollars.
He
is
currently
in
India
and
was
seen
at
the
Mumbai
airport
just
a
few
days
ago,
making
his
first
public
appearance
after
the
slapgate
incident.
