Having a large social media following comes with lots of perks, but it also comes with lots of responsibility. This is a lesson that Faizal Siddiqui has learned the hard way. The popular TikTok user recently got his account suspended after he was accused of glorifying acid attacks aimed at women who reject advances from men.

Keep reading for 10 things you didn’t know about Faizal Siddiqui.
1. He’s Signed To A Management Team
Faizal is one of the biggest social media stars in India so it only makes sense that he would work hard to continue to build his brand.

2. He’s Located In India
It’s not always easy for social media stars to gain international success. However, Faizal has been working towards that.

If you took a foreign language during school, you know just how difficult it can be to learn another language.

He speaks, Arabic, Hindi, English, Russian, Marithi, and Urdu.

Thanks to his success on social media, Faizal has gotten the opportunity to partner with some major brands as an influencer. Some of the companies he’s worked with include Lays and Pepsi. Moving forward, though, it is likely that many brands will opt not to work with Faizal admit this new controversy.
5. He Has A Big Instagram Following
TikTok isn’t the only social media platform where Faizal has found success. He also has a pretty substantial following on Instagran with just 446,000 followers.

The caption for his post read: “My Intention was never to hurt anyone in any Capacity. As a social media influencer, I realize my responsibility and apologize to anyone who was offended by the video”. Unfortunately for him, it doesn’t look like most people are willing to accept this apology.
