As the video got controversial, the actor deleted it shortly and now in an interview with Anupama Chopra, he explained the reason behind doing so.
In regard to the allegation that the video promoted domestic violence, Kartik said that it can’t be true because if it had been the case, his sister and mother would have objected. He revealed that the video was seen by his mother and sister both before it was uploaded and also clarified that he deleted it because it hurt sentiments of few people.
When he was asked a question about his flicks “Pyaar Ka Punchnama”, “Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety”, “Pati Patni Aur Woh” that have been termed as insulting to women community, Kartik said that he chooses a movie based on the script and the vision of the director.
