Sona Mohapatra on Vishal Dadlani

Sona responded with,"The ‘spine’ includes sitting next to a multiple-accused serial molester like Anu Malik on the judges' seat, and when colleagues like me call him to stand up, speak up, help push back this toxic culture of reality shows — saying paisa kamaake desh se nikalna hai (Want to earn money before leaving this country)... such a gem, I tell you."
Sona Mohapatra accused Anu Malik of sexual harassment
In 2018, singers Sona and Shweta Pandit, and two more women( whose identities were not divulged) had accused Indian Idol judge and music composer Anu Malik of sexual harassment.

Sona Mohapatra supported Kangana Ranaut
In another tweet, Sona supported Kangana and wrote, "The amount of stupidity in this question and in the people cheering a uniformed govt. a security professional hired to ensure discipline in society for behaving totally out of line is bizarre. Kangana Ranaut being a vile flibbertigibbet termagant doesn’t mean this can be condoned." Sona responded to an X user who asked, "I have a question... if I say anything wrong about your mother, will you give me an ward or slap me?"
Vishal Dadlani condemns violence
