Sona Mohapatra is a firebrand and there are no two ways about it. A woman of opinion, she never shies away from making herself heard. And she does it without a care in the world. Remember the time when she dissed fellow artist Mika Singh over his tweet supporting Ram Rahim Singh?

Well, if you haven’t guessed it already, she has done it again. And that too to another firebrand of similar repute- the fearless, Kangana Ranaut. Although she did not slam, Sona did have an advice for the actress.

In a long Facebook post, Sona Mohapatra voiced her opinion about the resurgence of the Kangana-Hrithik row (remember the revelations and the one after that?) and tells Kangana what no one probably would. Read the post here.

“Dear Kangana, I have always cheered loudly, in private & in public for you. Long, long before you turned Queen et all but your current run across the airwaves regurgitating personal details of your love life over & over again, washing dirty linen in public & more so as part of a professional PR campaign before your film release is in bad taste. No two ways about it.

Also, it does a big disservice to the cause of feminism & fair play. Wish you well & wish you would rise above this muck & make your point through actions & your work. Your success doesn’t need this tabloid trail. Your well thought out & superbly worded open letters of the past, fearless interviews addressing larger issues, taking a stand, taking legal recourse are welcome. The current ‘circus’, not.

This is just another opinion in the public domain from one working woman to another, from the heart & on an impulse. There is no PR machinery or team guiding me here. I do believe that there are plenty of feminists in the opposite gender. Men who cheer the cause of outspoken, feisty, fierce & hard working women like you & me. We don’t ‘need’ them as such but let’s not forget them & also the thousands of amazing women who fight the good fight on a daily basis with dignity.
Life might not have been easy but you are in a great place now. More so to influence positive change. That is worthy of a daily celebration.
Also, today is Onam, a thanksgiving festival in the South. The mythology surrounding the festival is significant – it emphasizes the Hindu belief in the cyclical nature of events, that no individual, no ruler and nothing lasts forever, except the virtues and self-understanding that overcomes all sorrow.
So, Happy Onam. Big love & healing to you.
(P.S To the so called ‘journos’ hankering after this masala & asking those thaka hua questions. ?)

Is it only me or Sona has put the entire picture in perspective while making complete sense? I’m sure the latter. Thank you for saying what we couldn’t, Sona.
