Sona Mohapatra has criticised Shahid Kapoor for taking on the role of a 'misogynistic man' in his latest release, Kabir Singh. The singer tweeted, "Does the actor have no responsibility for choosing to play a part in a narrative that can set us back as a society? Is that all we have become? Creatures of ambition (sic)."

She also took on the National Commission for Women chairperson, Rekha Sharma for noticing his intense acting but not "the deeply patriarchal narrative (sic)."

& how can we keep such deeply disturbing , dark & dangerous politics 'aside'? Does the actor have no responsibility for choosing to play a part in a narrative that can set us back as a society? Is that all we have become? Creatures of ambition? #LetsTalk #India #KabirSingh https://t.co/UxUbWdOpAF

Stop worshipping these paper tigers, dear India. Let's find and be more worthy 'heroes' (sic)," she had tweeted.
