Will Smith and Chris Rock's on-stage moment at the Oscar 2022 has grabbed everyone's attention. Ever since Will Smith slapped Chris Rock for cracking a joke about his wife Jada Pinkett Smith, social media is flooded with memes and a frenzy of responses. Now, we have Bollywood actor Abhay Deol in the house with this take on Will Smith's Slapgate. Abhay Deol has recreated the episode for the online family. Abhay is joined by British TV presenter Anita Rani. Here, Anita is the one who slaps Abhay. The Boomerang was shot in Soho House West Hollywood, California, US. The caption read, “Anita Rani, telling me about the Oscars. I would have stood up and turned the other cheek if I knew what was coming.” Anita Rani was quick with her reply. She has dropped face with tears of joy emojis under the photo. Actress Esha Gupta followed suit. 

So what led to Will Smith's slapgate? The incident happened in the final hours of the 94th Academy Awards. Chris Rock cracked a joke about actress Jada Pinkett Smith's hair and it seems this didn't go down well with Will Smith. The actor walked up to the stage and slapped comedian Chris Morris. That's not it. After returning to his seat, Will Smith even shouted at him. For those who don't know,  Jada Pinkett Smith suffers from alopecia, a condition that causes hair loss.
