Kartik Aaryan Gives Fitting Reply after Accused of Domestic Violence in Controversial TikTok Video with Sister

Kartik Aaryan is often mired in accusations of promoting misogyny. Right from his choice of films to his TikTok videos, his statements stir up controversies and are usually under scrutiny.

Speaking of one such TikTok video wherein Kartik punishes his sister for not cooking ‘round rotis’ did not go down well with many on the Internet. His video was termed ‘disgusting’ and ‘misogynist’ and along with the netizens, celebs like singer Sona Mohapatra and filmmaker Onir too slammed the actor for his video.

After facing massive backlash on social media, Kartik deleted the video.

In a recent interview, Kartik opened up about the controversy around his video and stated that it was blown out of proportion. "It was said that it promoted domestic violence. Think about it, if that had been the case, don’t you think my sister would have objected? Or my mom? They watched it before we uploaded it. Things are sometimes blown out of proportion as well. After I deleted the video, many peole asked me why did I delete it. There are two sides to everything. You just have to go along. But I am not promoting anything” he told Film Companion.

Kartik also revealed why he deleted the video: “I know it hurts some people’s sentiments, that’s why I deleted it. If someone was even slightly hurt by it, I should just delete it and not get into it. I wouldn’t really care about it,” he said.

Earlier, Sona had brutally bashed the actor and tweeted: “This guy has become a youth idol by consistently starring in misogynistic films &is happy 2extend it to his disgusting #lockdown video. DV in India is skyrocketing many women stuck 24/7 with their abusers.Call this out #India.He influences many more millions than Tangoli.”

Post this, the singer had come on record and said that Kartik’s PR had been staging articles against her and trolling her after she slammed the actor for his video.
