Responding to a tweet, Sona recalled the times when Salman Khan reportedly smashed bottles on his girlfriend's head and yet he is one of the biggest superstars of the country. She 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." This was in response to a tweet that slammed a netizen for defending Faizal Siddiqui.
Earlier, it was acid attack survivor Laxmi Agarwal who expressed her disappointment with Faizal's video. Thanking the National Commission of Women for taking action against him, she stated that people are striving hard to fight the menace of acid attack and also called people like Faizal a 'curse' to the society.
