Not the first time 

Kartik has earned some criticism in the past for being part of films with sexist undertones. While the two Pyaar Ka Punchnama movies showed women as abusive, and gold-diggers, Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety showed the female lead to be manipulative and selfish.  His last film, Pati Patni Aur Woh also came under scanner for a joke making light of marital sex.
