Filmmaker Pooja Bhatt turned to Twitter to vent out against reality show Bigg Boss 7 and its contestant Armaan Kohli. 

‘Armaan Kohli arrested, out on bail & now BACK in the house?! What's worse is the attempt to assassinate Sofia's 'character' & intent by most! Why is that each time a woman stands up to a male bully she is put in the dock herself? Saddened by the comments of some former contestants!’ she tweeted.

‘What is the schizophrenic message we are giving out through #BB7 Fight violence against women in life but abuse & intimidate them on TV? Also,why has no senior police officer made any comment on this entire fracas on #BB7? Highly suspicious.  To those who say 'Sofia did this for publicity' I ask-why was Armaan so intimidating in the first place? Because it is his inherent nature? If this arrest & bail drama on #BB7 is a publicity stunt it's abysmal. If it's not, it's even more so. TV & we have just hit an all time low,’ she added.

Sofia Hayat, on the other hand, thanked Bhatt and wrote: ‘thankyou so much for your support. Means a lot. your words are inspiring and true..that's why I'm making a stand..not just for myself but for all women who have faced abuse.’
