Singer Sona Mohapatra recently took a dig at ‘Bigg Boss 13’ fame Shehnaaz Gill for supporting #MeToo accused filmmaker Sajid Khan. She wrote against the actor after presumably watching a video where she stops singing mid-track after hearing azaan (a call for prayer in Islam).
Sona tweeted that Shehnaaz’s act reminded her of the time when she stood by Sajid Khan on national television and wished him all the best.
Her post read, ‘All the twitter adulation for #ShehnaazGiII’s act of ‘respect’ today reminded me of her ‘support’, ‘reverence’ & ‘glorification’ of a multiple accused sex offender & pervert #SajjidKhan when he was platformed on National TV. Wished she had some respect for her sisterhood. #MeToo.’
After being trolled for the tweet, she wrote that she doesn’t know what Shehnaaz’s talent is, apart from low-brow reality TV fame.
Her tweet read, ‘Dear trolls trying to stand up for yet another starlet like Jacqueline, I don’t know what Shehnaz’s particular talent is as of now, apart from low-brow reality tv fame.But I do know the modus operandi of women of convenience,shortcuts who bust the good fight for a role/money.’
The singer continued, ‘do also share such details dear news portals using my tweet to advertise/amplify the Shehnaz starlets next new movie with the multiple #MeToo accused #SajjidKhan . Using my tweets as PR pegs for your publicity dear #Bollywood is an old trope & one that I recognise well.’
She further added, ‘whoever is the ‘SM agency’, please know that while I don’t have 1 who pay a bunch to harass your client in return, I have dealt with much worse in the past.Gangs who were in the payroll of the #BiggBoss himself? Invest to continue fake trend SHEHNAAZ WINS LOKMAT AWARD instead.’
For the unversed, during the MeToo movement, multiple women accused director Sajid Khan for alleged sexual harassment.
Meanwhile, Shehnaaz Gill will soon make her Bollywood debut with Salman Khan in ‘Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan’, which releases this Eid.
