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?"
