Go to Settings -> Apps -> All and then look for whatsapp. Clear the cache and data and force stop it. Start it again and hopefully the problem should be gone.

Always have your stuff when you need it with @Dropbox (2GB Free Space). Sign up for free using http://db.tt/ROPI4Ylk and get additional 500MB.
