Sona took to X and she said, “What’s with politicians demeaning women in their speeches to get some brownie points in a sexist landscape? Dear #RahulGandhi, sure someone has demeaned your own mother, sister similarly in the past & irrespective you ought to know better? Also, #AishwaryaRai dances beautifully.🙏🏾”
A user responded to Sona’s tweet and trolled Aishwarya. The singer gave a befitting reply to the troll. The troll said, “Dancing like a courtesan is beautiful??? Thank God she didn’t try to attempt Odissi else those horrible body bends in Umrao Jaan speaks a lot about so called dance. Even Vidya Balan didn’t dare portray Odissi as a court dance. She just essayed the role of an Odissi Dancer.” Mohapatra slammed the troll saying, “Dancing like a courtesan” is indeed a compliment you Foolish illiterate Putra. From Amrapali, Barani, Purasati to even Umrao Jaan, the courtesans of Indian history were treasure troves & revered for their art, artistry & command over languages & poetry, performing arts. 🧚🏿♀️🔴”
Someone also trolled Sona by saying ‘let see how many people agree to her.” The singer hit back and responded, “I don’t need a single person to agree with me to be confident about my opinion that there is no need to malign, shame, call anyone a ‘dancer’ in a demeaning way in a political speech and that ought to burn you up even more? Love tradition? Worship the Goddess? Respect women? Start.”
