Will Smith slaps Chris Rock: Neetu Kapoor, Varun Dhawan and other B-Town celebs react to Academy Awards' stage drama

Everyone at the Dolby Theater was in for a shock when Will Smith walked up to the stage and slapped comic artiste Chris Rock over his humorous remark on Will's wife Jada Pinkett Smith. Now, Bollywood celebrities have taken to their social media handles to react to the stage drama at the Academy Awards.

Neetu Kapoor shared a picture and captioned it as, ''And they say women can never control their emotions." Varun Dhawan wrote, ''Wow didn't expect that also @chrisrock has a chin''
Sophie Choudry tweeted, ''Violence is never the way but cracking jokes about someone’s medical condition should not be acceptable either.This was supposed to be a career high for one of my favourite artists for a superb performance. Instead he’ll be remembered for this crazy incident #willsmith #Oscars''.





The incident took place when Chris was on the stage to present the Oscars for the Best Documentary category. He started his gig with a few jokes about the audience members, including Pinkett Smith, referring to her as "G.I. Jane" due to her closely cropped hair, Pinkett Smith has spoken in the past about her battle with alopecia.
Moments after the joke, Will walked to the stage and smacked Rock across the face. At first, it was unclear if the assault was a planned bit. The uncensored footage of the show had Rock saying, "Will Smith just smacked the shit out of me," as Smith was on his way to his chair. "Wow, dude. It was a G.I. Jane joke."
When he got back to his seat, Smith shouted at Rock saying, "Keep my wife's name out of your fu****g mouth''.
