Quoting a tweet by National Commission for Women chairperson Rekha Sharma, Sona wrote on Twitter: "Didn’t notice the deeply misogynistic & patriarchal narrative? Just intense acting? That is truly deeply disturbing.

In another tweet, Sona tagged a reviewer and posted: "& 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."

An official remake of Telugu hit Arjun Reddy, Shahid Kapoor's latest released movie also featured actor Kiara Advani.

Biggest *non-holiday* opening day of 2019 [surpasses #TotalDhamaal: ₹ 16.50 cr]... Is a craze amongst the youth... Fri ₹ 20.21 cr. India biz."
