Kartik Aaryan's recent video with sister Krithika received severe backlash for misogyny from netizens.

Due to the lockdown, Bollywood celebrities have become more active on social media. From sharing hilarious memes to posting funny photos and videos, actors have their social media game on point. Among all, Kartik Aaryan has been spending his quarantine period with his family. The actor has been sharing a few hilarious videos with sister Kritika Tiwari amid lockdown. But a recent video of Kartik with Kritika received backlash from netizens and celebrities. The video showed Kartik pretending to fling his sister off the balcony after he dislikes a chapati made by her.

Kartik, who posted this video on his social media account, got criticized by the public for it. Netizens have been commenting that the video shows domestic violence and have been bashing the actor for throwing his sister out of the balcony. Singer Sona Mohapatra who has always been open about expressing her views on social media condemned the Love Aaj Kal actor and tweeted, "I have begun to believe that this is a new PR strategy for many. Put out misogynistic content or even hire a multiple #MeToo accused & then wait for the feminists to speak up & protest & thus amplify? Free ka publicity. Case in point Kabir Singh, Indian Idol & maybe this too?"

Twitterati has also called out the actor for the video. While some tweeted, "When there is a reported rise in domestic violence this is outrageous", other wrote, "Is he suggesting that the girl fell down from the balcony & he wanted to only save the belan?? Can we throw him out of our planet, please?! Or best-out of our solar system." 

I have begun to believe that thus is a new PR strategy for many. Put out misogynistic content or even hire a multiple #MeToo accused & then wait for the feminists to speak up & protest & thus amplify? Free ka publicity. Case in point Kabir Singh, Indian Idol & maybe this too? https://t.co/jEijOwfiwB
