Sona Mohapatra’s reaction came after a TikTok user Faisal Siddiqui posted a rather disturbing video as his content. For the ones unaware, Faisal is Amir Siddiqui’s brother. Amir is the same TikTok celeb who was roasted by YouTuber CarryMinati.
In the video, Faisal Siddiqui can be seen taking revenge from a girl who rejected his proposal. He can be seen throwing a liquid on her face in it. The video did not go well with many who claimed it promotes acid violence. But there were also a few who stood by the TikTok user’s side.
One such tweet claimed that the video was edited. Replying to the same Sona Mohapatra expressed the fact that we have grown up watching Salman Khan break bottles on his girlfriend’s head. All of this happened without anybody questioning it, rather made him the biggest star.
Sona Mohapatra wrote, “Dear @aaliznat , nothing before & after the ‘spliced’ video u were defending of this guy cd justify it. Demeaning women is normalised in our culture. We grew up with stories of SalmanKhan, breaking bottles on his girlfriends head in public, yet the country’s biggest star? Needs to stop.”
