Many started asking Sowbhagya too as to how she looked up to the ban. Taking to her Instagram page, she shared a screenshot of deleting her TikTok account. “Good bye tiktok and goodbye 1.5M followers,” (sic.) she wrote.

She further clarified that for an artist like her anything can be a medium and platform and the ban won't affect her. She wrote, “For those who are asking whether am I shattered with this ban; This is just a tiktok app not Sowbhagya Venkitesh... For an artist anything can be a medium and platform.” (sic.)

The government decided to ban the 59 Chinese apps including Baidu map Mi Community, Club Factory, WeChat, UC News, Weibo, Xender over national security concerns.
