TikTok
star
Faizal
Siddiqui
is
currently
hitting
the
headlines
for
his
controversial
video,
in
which
he
is
seen
taking
revenge
on
a
girl
for
leaving
him,
by
throwing
water
on
her
face.
In
the
next
frame,
the
girl's
face
is
covered
with
heavy
makeup,
which
is
to
be
interpreted
as
damage
done
by
acid.
Siddiqui
was
slammed
by
netizens
and
many
celebrities
for
promoting
acid-attack
with
this
disturbing
video.
Now,
singer
Sona
Mohapatra
has
reacted
to
this
ongoing
controversy.
In
her
tweet,
while
slamming
the
video,
she
even
took
a
jibe
at
Bollywood
superstar
Salman
Khan.
He
dragged
in
the
actor
to
speak
about
how
demeaning
women
is
normalized
in
India.
Lashing
back
at
a
tweet,
which
claimed
that
the
video
was
edited,
Sona
wrote
in
her
tweet,
"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."

Earlier,
she
had
expressed
relief
that
she
had
never
joined
TikTok,
and
had
tweeted,
"So
relieved
I
could
never
be
persuaded
to
get
on
to
this
low
life
platform
&
even
in
Covid19
times
where
there
was
a
paid
branded
opportunity,said
no.
Music
labels
scout
for
#TikTok
stars
to
lip
sync
our
songs
to
get
better
'reach'".
(sic)
This
isn't
the
first
time
Sona
Mohapatra
has
taken
a
jibe
at
Salman
Khan.
When
Priyanka
Chopra
had
exited
his
film
Bharat
at
the
last
minute,
the
singer
had
called
Salman
the
'poster
child
of
toxic
masculinity'
for
his
'low
brow
digs'
at
Priyanka
during
the
film's
promotional
interviews.
Coming
back
to
Faizal
Siddiqui's
controversial
video,
it
has
been
pulled
down
by
TikTok,
after
the
National
Commission
for
Women
(NCW)
Chief
Rekha
Sharma
asked
the
Maharashtra
Director
General
of
Police
Subodh
Kumar
Jaiswal
to
take
action
against
Faizal
for
promoting
a
grievous
crime
on
a
social
media
platform.
