Sona Mohapatra slams pop culture claiming women can be wooed over by money, pulls in Jacqueline Fernandez in accusation – Times of India

Singer Sona Mohapatra has never shied away from calling a spade a spade. The 46-year-old, who often lands in the eye of controversy always speaks her heart out on a variety of social issues and makes her stand clear, even inviting wrath of her peers and colleagues.

Recently, the singer took to her Twitter handle to slam the popular notion that women can be won over by materialistic things. Making a reference to Jacqueline Fernandez‘s song Chittiyaan Kalaiyaan, where the actor is seen asking for gifts, Sona called the Sri Lankan beauty a ‘mascot’ of this culture. In the video posted, glimpses of many Punjabi songs could be seen too, where girls are seen demanding gifts and visits to the mall.

Sharing the same, Sona wrote, “Dear #India, mainstream #popculture is constantly telling us that women can be won over with bags, shoes & BS like such,are meant to be objectified or then just be playful,chulbuli, & pretty..the #jacquelinefernandez ‘s get brand endorsements for being such mascots? #LetsTalk.”

Sona had earlier also heavily come down on actors such as Salman Khan, when he had infamously commented that he felt like a rape victim when he was shooting for Sultan, since it was physically so exhausting. She wrote, “Whitewashing his own toxic masculinity for eons with #BeingHuman despite being anything but; yes my old foe in twitter wars; #SalmanKhan”.

Sona has lent her voice to songs like Bahara, Rupaiya, Jiya Laage Na and many others.
