Recently, Soundous Moufakir shared a video from the award function, wherein she can be seen speaking fluent Hindi. Impressed by her talent, the host said that she deserved an award for that.

Soundous Moufakir opened up about the incident on her Instagram handle and accused Karanvir Bohra of objectifying her. The actress took to her IG story and penned a long note, calling out the actor for his demeaning statement. Soundous' note can be read as:
"This is a common objectification faced by multiple women inside this industry and outside, all over the world. So let me just say this - l’m not an award, I’m not a trophy, I’m not SOMETHING you can just joke about taking home. The way men are always ready to demean a woman’s achievements and their proud moments by passing sexist, misogynistic comments disgusts me and I wonder when this will stop."
Reacting to Soundous' allegation, Karanvir Bohra shared an official statement in a video on his IG stories. Clarifying his stance, without taking Soundous' name, he talked about the incident and mentioned that he doesn't like to respond to attention-seeking people. He said:
“This lady made a statement about me after a week apparently me making a remark on her, that's what she thought. But I am pretty glad that the lady put up the video." He then added that while the host addressed him with the question, his response was that of sarcasm. Karanvir said, "The idea was, it was sarcasm, that don't flirt with her on stage. Then he said, ‘Arre main isko ghar le jau (Should I take her home)?’ So that was his comment. So if she felt bad, she should have felt bad about his statement. I never told her. My straight comment was to the host."

The actor also mentioned that if he would have had any wrong intention behind his statement, he would have apologised. However, in this case, he said that he was not sorry. Stating that the host objectified Soundous, Karan added:
"When something like this would happen, I would genuinely say sorry. Naturally, if anyone is hurt because of my statement, it is my responsibility to take onus of it and apologise and clear the matter. But in this case, I am really sorry but I am not sorry because I didn’t say anything to you. The host objectified you. So you misunderstood that and yes, your Hindi is not that clear and you don’t understand it clearly, so you need to learn Hindi. So if you want to make it another post or story, please make it for the host. Thank you very much, may God bless you."
