Sona Mohapatra on Wednesday took to her Twitter handle to 'cheer' Bollywood actor Kartik Aaryan for deleting the misogynistic TikTok video featuring his sister. The singer a few days back, along with other celebrities and Netizens had slammed Aaryan for sharing a 'problematic' post where he 'throws her sister' off the balcony for making bad rotis.

Sona in her long post explained how the post was not funny but 'ridiculous'. She wrote, "It is a slap in the face of those women who are trapped inside their home due to the coronavirus lockdown, suffering domestic violence."

After facing massive flak, Aaryan took down the post, and Sona appreciated his response. She also wrote that she hopes to see him in movies that are 'more responsible' in their gender messaging.
