After criticising actor Salman Khan “for his misogyny and remarks,” Sona Mohapatra recalls receiving rape threats. Sona had criticised Salman for making fun of Priyanka Chopra, a performer, for leaving his film Bharat.
Priyanka quit the “greatest film of her career,” according to Salman, in order to wed singer-actor Nick Jonas. He had stated in 2019 that “people typically leave their husbands for this.” “@priyankachopra has better things to accomplish in life, actual men to hang out with and more importantly, females to inspire with her story,” Sona then tweeted.
“I had gone through the most terrible trolling, with death threats and literally excrement being brought in dabbas (lunch boxes) in my studio,” Sona revealed in an interview with ETimes. “I had called out Salman Khan for his misogyny and remarks. My comments were widely shared. She proceeded by saying that it persisted for two months and that the Minister of Women’s and Children’s Welfare was forced to start a campaign to improve women’s and children’s online safety. Sona also remembered receiving “gang rape threats” and having her photos altered for porn sites.
“It was awful. And that’s when we realised it wasn’t just fans, but rather a centralised digital army. It further frightened women away from online activity. It was planned out. This entire game contained a large number of sponsored bots. It was terrible for my family when I made the decision to tackle it head-on. It was exhausting, and occasionally when Ram (musician Sampath and her husband) returned to the studio, I was sobbing on my couch. Because dealing with the continual trolling and the constant criticism was difficult, you’ll see a lot of those puffy expressions in my documentary Shut Up Sona. Without a doubt, I don’t like it. But it is still valuable.
Sona has previously criticised Salman for comparing himself to a “raped” woman in a statement about how he felt following the taxing Sultan shoot. She criticised him once more last year after he asked his followers to help Sushant Singh Rajput’s followers and family.
Sona is now preparing her documentary, Shut up Sona, for release. It debuts on ZEE5 on July 1. Sona just posted a clip from the documentary on Instagram with the hashtag “#ShutUp.” Sona is an unashamed account of my refusal to be quiet as well as a love letter to a nation that occasionally finds my voice upsetting. Along with showcasing my musical influences and heritage, this film also provides a window into the politics of the Indian music industry.
