is it correct to ask, WHY LAUGHING

In a scenerio where the antagonist is laughing at the hero... is it right for the hero to ask... why laughing?

I know of "why are you laughing?" but I've heard people ask "why laughing?"... and everytime I do, it sounds somehow to my ears, so I wonder,is it actually correct to ask, "WHY LAUGHING?"

It is not grammatically correct, no. To be grammatically correct, you would use: "Why are you laughing?"

However, if your hero speaks a certain way and it would be natural for him to ask the question like that, then write "why laughing?". It all depends on your story.
