The video showed Faizal taking revenge on a girl for leaving him, by throwing a liquid that causes damage to her face. This irked several netizens who claimed that the video propagates acid attacks against women.

She further 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.

This is of course not the first time that Sona has commented on Khan. Previously, during the Bharat controversy surrounding Priyank Chopra's exit, she had tweeted saying, "A showcase & poster child of toxic masculinity. Low brow dig at not only a woman who was not in the room but a disgusting disregard & contempt for the woman & colleague sitting next to him in the same room. Unless we call out such serial bad behaviour, nothing changes, #India."
