While Malik denied the allegations and also wrote on social media how his family is suffering due to the #MeToo allegations against him following which the National Commission For Women sent a notice to Sony TV questioning his comeback as a judge on the show.
During the filming of Indian Idol 11, Malik got replaced by Javed Ali following an open letter to Union Minister Smriti Irani by singer Sona Mohapatra in which she mentioned that the channel had ignored the testimonies of many women by having Malik back on the show despite serious allegations.
