Sona Mohapatra Schools Sports Minister Kiren Rijiju For Calling Kailash Kher 'Kind'; Reminds Him The Singer Acted 'Inappropriately With A Series Of Women'
When the #MeToo movement peaked in Bollywood in the year 2018, several artistes were publicly alleged of sexual harassment. Among others, singer Kailash Kher, too, was accused of sexual misconduct by fellow singer and songwriter Sona Mohapatra. Ever since then, Sona makes it a point to express her disappointment to everyone who comes in support of Kher. Recently, Sports Minister Kiren Rijiju, on the occasion of Kailash Kher's birthday, had taken to his Twitter to wish the musician, while also heaping praises on his personality. This, however, didn't go down well with Sona Mohapatra and she responded to the politician.

Along with sharing a video message, Kiren Rijiju wrote, "Happy birthday to India's gifted singer, a kind hearted man and the man with golden voice @Kailashkher ji. May Lord Shiva bless you with good health, long life and happiness so that you continue to serve the people and enthral all of us with your soulful voice." In response to the same, Sona revealed that she often watches his timeline, also showing his delightful interactions with his daughter. She further opened up on her displeasure on Kiren calling Kailash a 'kind-hearted' man.

"Dear @KirenRijiju jee, I watch your timeline & wonderful warm interactions with your doll of a daughter. I doubt you’d feel like calling any man who has acted inappropriately with a series of women & also underage students, ‘kind’. The @IndiaMeToo stories are in the public domain," read Sona's response.

Accusing Kailash of sexually harassing her, Sona had tweeted, "I met Kailash for coffee in Prithvi Café to discuss a forthcoming concert where both our bands were playing & after the usual, a hand on my thigh with lines likes, your so beautiful, feel so good that a ‘musician got you’ (Ram) not an actor. I left not soon after.”
