Anu Malik, who was accused in a #MeToo case was removed as a judge from his singing reality show, Indian Idol 10 after he was slammed by playback singer Sona Mohapatra on social media. However, the makers of the singing show approached Anu again for the 11th season despite being accused of #MeToo. Soon when it was announced that Malik will be judging on Indian Idol 11, many were miffed with this news and questioned the makers on how they forgot his sexual misconduct case.

She too shared her views on the same on her Instagram handle where she called Anu ‘a pervert’ and stated that she is NOT okay with it. As this issue was becoming a matter of concern, there were some speculations stating if Anu will be quitting the show again or not.
