Coronavirus quarantine is forcing celebrities to become more active on social media than ever. While some are busy posting about their newfound hobbies like cooking and painting, we have been watching Kartik Aaryan post some videos with his sister Kritika. What started off as harmless brother-sister banter and fun videos, seem to have now landed the duo in a new controversy. Kartik had recently shared a video where his sister was seen making a roti that he doesn't approve of and is later seen punishing her for the same. The Pati Patni Aur Woh actor had captioned the video as, "No compromise on quality”. While the video was taken jokingly by Aaryan's fellow industry folks such as Varun Dhawan among others, Twitterati slammed the actor calling it 'misogynistic'.

Sona Mohapatra:
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
