Even as ‘BanTikTokInIndia’ is in vogue on Twitter, Odisha-born singer Sona Mohapatra has made her debut in the controversy of TikTok ‘star’ Faisal Siddiqui’s video with her comments against Bollywood superstar Salman Khan.
Several viewers are complaining that the videos being posted by some popular faces of the TikTok platform are inappropriate. While many users were a part of the banning campaign earlier, some Bollywood celebrities have also now become vocal and discouraged the misguiding video contents.
It all started with some videos posted by one Tiktoker Faisal Siddiqui. Viewers complained that the videos were sending a wrong message to the society as they were normalising violence against women.
A war broke in the social media between Faisal’s supporters and others, who discouraged the video’s contents.
In reply to a Faisal defender, Sona Mohapatra wrote on Twitter, “Demeaning women is normalised in our culture. We grew up with stories of Salman Khan, breaking bottles on his girlfriend’s head in public, yet the country’s biggest star? Needs to stop.”
This is for everyone who is telling that the guy is just drinking water and that's not an acid attack. This is the same guy in the video. Please stop normalising violence against women if they reject your romantic advances.
Mohapatra’s animosity with Salman is not new. Earlier, she had called the actor a ‘poster boy of toxic masculinity’ when he commented on actress Priyanka Chopra for leaving his project ‘Bharat’ for getting married to American pop star Nick Jonas.
