Earlier, when Anu stepped down as Indian Idol 11 judge, Sona thanked her fans and media for their support. She tweeted, “Thank you to all the women & men & the media of India who supported our campaign #MoveOutMalik . A repeat offender like Anu Malik on national tv triggered a lot of trauma, pain & stress in many of our lives. I have been ill for a while & I hope to sleep well tonight." (sic)

In 2018, Sona had accused Malik of sexual misconduct. Other singers including Neha Bhasin and Shweta Pandit had also alleged the composer of harassment and shared their stories in the wake of the Me Too movement.
