After the biggest night in Hollywood – Oscars 2022 took place on Sunday, it’s trending on Twitter along with Will Smith who won the best actor award but for all the wrong reasons. During the 94th Academy Awards, Chris Rock was on stage and tried to make the audience laugh with his insensitive jokes. After the comedian made a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith’s bald head which wasn’t even funny, her husband and actor, Will Smith went up to the stage and slapped him leaving the audience shocked. The incident that happened live made the audience including us think that it was a pre-planned joke but after the King Richard actor went back to his seat and shouted “keep my wife’s name out your [expletive] mouth,” everyone realised that it was not a joke.

Indian actress and model Flora Saini reacted to the incident and supported Will Smith. Sharing the video of the actor’s acceptance speech on her social media account, she wrote, “And this is why I love this man (heart emoji) and thank you for standing up not jus for Jada but for any actor who is made fun of for their looks or hair loss or body shape in an award ceremony by ur peers.. something sure needs to change.”

As someone who is aware of the fact that Oscars loves drama or drama loves it, I was not surprised but definitely shocked after the incident.
