2:34Now PlayingAn unfortunate incident struck the 94th Oscars 2022 awards ceremony when actor Will Smith slapped comedian Chris Rock after he joked about his wife Jada Pinkett Smith’s bald look. He even yelled at the comedian saying, 'Keep my wife’s name out of your mouth.' The slap gate incident left every shocked and stunned. Now, as the incident has become a talk of the global entertainment industry, B-town actress Sophie Choudry has reacted to this incident. In a conversation with a news portal, Sophie said that violence can never be justified. 'Violence is never the way. We all thought it was staged until we heard the verbal exchange. It is heartbreaking because he is such a fantastic actor. I am just so sad that his incredible career and legacy could be overshadowed by this one crazy incident', said the actress. She further added, 'I don't think I am angry, I am shocked. Because I think Will Smith is the ultimate charmer. In this crazy industry that people are a part of, he has carried himself with a lot of dignity. He is an example for so many people to look up to. So, something must have really hit hard and it must have been a lot deeper than just a joke about it.' She also expressed disappointment for making fun of someone's medical condition as she further added, 'Having said that, I don't think it is cool for people to make jokes about it. Somewhere the line has to be drawn. But, violence is not okay. As a society, we need to be a lot more sensitive' However, Will Smith apologized for his behaviour during the event only. Notably, minutes after Will Smith and Chris Rock's altercation, the 'Men In Black' actor won the Best Actor award for his film 'King Richard.' Meanwhile, reports are rife that the actor might have to return his award now as The Academy has a strict code of conduct policy. However, The Academy has also issued a statement on the slap gate incident by tweeting 'The Academy does not condone violence of any form.' This tweet has now left fans confused on whether Smith will be asked to return his honour due to his conduct during the ceremony. For more news & updates, stay tuned to ETimes.
