‘Misogynistic, Disgusting’, Kartik Aaryan Deletes Controversial Video after Backlash on Social Media

Kartik Aaryan invited trouble after his recent TikTok video with sister Kritika went viral. In the video, the actor ‘punishes’ his sister for not cooking ‘round rotis’. “No compromise on food quality,” the actor had captioned the video.

The actor’s video was called out for misogyny and celebs slammed him for the same. Singer Sona Mohapatra retweeted a tweet that read, ‘Acting in misogynistic films is one thing, bhai ye ab khud ese scripting aur directing bhi kar rahe hain (now he is writing and editing these films as well)?’ Sona added, “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.”

Even filmmaker Onir called the video ‘idiotic’. “Someone should tell him since he is too dumb to understand that a lot of responsible Film industry members have put out a message against domestic violence and this is NOT FUNNY . But then who are we taking to,” he wrote in a tweet. 

Kartik faced massive backlash on social media as well. Owing to the trolling and backlash, he deleted the video from his social media. 

Kartik faced a similar incident earlier during his movie Pati Patni Aur Woh. The film had a particular monologue that offended many netizens and was later cut from the movie.
