While some celebrities are wondering about the significance of the ban, many have hailed the government for the decision.<br \/>\nTikTok, owned by China&#8217;s ByteDance, was among the 59 Chinese mobile apps banned on Monday by the Indian government. The Indian ministry of information technology said that the apps &#8220;are engaged in activities&#8230; prejudicial to sovereignty and integrity of India, defence of India, security of state and public order&#8221;. There are estimated to be about 120 million TikTok users in India, with many Bollywood celebs present on the platform too.<br \/>\nAmong those reacted to the ban was Malaika Arora. Sharing a picture on her Instagram stories that shows the news of TikTok ban flashing on a TV screen, she wrote, \u201cBest news I have heard in lockdown&#8230;finally we will not be subjected to people\u2019s ridiculous videos.\u201d\n<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<div style=\"padding-bottom: 5px;padding-top: 5px\" align=\"center\"><strong>Related Videos<\/strong><\/div>\n<div><div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\"  style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto;\"  id=\"_ytid_31713\"  width=\"1140\" height=\"641\"  data-origwidth=\"1140\" data-origheight=\"641\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7EkCWc7qADQ?enablejsapi=1&autoplay=0&cc_load_policy=0&cc_lang_pref=&iv_load_policy=1&loop=0&rel=1&fs=1&playsinline=0&autohide=2&theme=dark&color=red&controls=1&disablekb=0&\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"fullscreen; accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe><\/div><\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<div style=\"padding-bottom: 5px;padding-top: 5px\" align=\"center\"><strong>TikTok Pick<\/strong><\/div>\n<div>Malaika Arora Tik Tok<\/div>\n<div>\n<div><div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\"  style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto;\"  id=\"_ytid_38258\"  width=\"1140\" height=\"641\"  data-origwidth=\"1140\" data-origheight=\"641\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RMj6_eZn79g?enablejsapi=1&autoplay=0&cc_load_policy=0&cc_lang_pref=&iv_load_policy=1&loop=0&rel=1&fs=1&playsinline=0&autohide=2&theme=dark&color=red&controls=1&disablekb=0&\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"fullscreen; accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a class=\"twitter-timeline\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MallaAroraFC?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">Tweets by MallaAroraFC<\/a> <\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<div style=\"padding-bottom: 5px;padding-top: 5px\" align=\"center\"><strong>Style to wear<\/strong><\/div>\n<div id='sa_invalid_postid'>Slide Anything shortcode error: A valid ID has not been provided<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The ban on video sharing platform TikTok in India has been met with mixed reactions in Bollywood.
