Sona
Mohapatra
is
one
of
the
few
celebrities
who
doesn't
shy
away
from
voicing
her
opinions
fearlessly.
As
a
result
of
this,
the
singer
often
finds
herself
at
the
receiving
end
of
trolls.
Recently
while
speaking
with
ETimes,
Sona
recalled
how
she
was
brutally
trolled
and
given
gape
rape
threats
when
she
slammed
Bollywood
superstar
Salman
Khan
for
his
statements
on
Priyanka
Chopra's
decision
to
walk
out
of
his
film
Bharat.
For
the
unversed,
Salman
had
said
that
Priyanka
left
the
'biggest
film
of
her
career'
to
marry
singer-actor
Nick
Jonas
adding
that
usually
people
leave
their
husbands
for
this
chance.
Sona
Mohapatra
had
criticised
Salman's
statement
and
tweeted,
"@priyankachopra
has
better
things
to
do
in
life,
real
men
to
hang
out
with
and
more
importantly,
girls
to
inspire
with
her
journey."
In
her
latest
chat
with
a
leading
tabloid,
Sona
opened
up
on
the
'hideous'
trolling
that
she
faced
for
calling
out
Salman
Khan
for
his
misogynistic
statements.
The
singer
said,
"I
had
gone
through
the
most
hideous
trolling,
including
death
threats
and
literally
shit
being
delivered
in
dabbas
(lunch
boxes)
in
my
studio,
because
I
had
called
out
Salman
Khan
for
his
misogyny
and
statements.
My
statements
had
gone
viral."
Sona
revealed
that
the
trolling
continued
for
two
months
and
the
Minister
of
Women
and
Child
Welfare
had
to
launch
a
campaign
for
better
safety
of
women
and
children
online.
She
also
recalled
her
photographs
being
morphed
onto
porn
sits
and
receiving
gang
rape
threats.
"It
was
horrible.
And
then
we
realised
it
was
a
consolidated
digital
army
that
was
not
necessarily
just
made
up
of
fans.
It
further
scared
away
women
from
being
online.
It
was
premeditated.
There
were
a
lot
of
paid
bots
that
were
in
this
whole
game.
I
decided
to
take
it
up
head
on
and
it
was
horrible
for
my
family.
It
was
exhausting,
and
somedays
Ram
(Sampath,
musician
and
her
husband)
would
come
back
to
the
studio
and
I
would
be
sobbing
on
my
couch.
You'll
see
a
lot
of
those
swollen
looks
in
my
documentary,
Shut
Up
Sona,
because
dealing
with
the
constant
trolling
and
the
constant
negativity
was
not
easy.
It's
not
something
I
enjoy
for
sure.
But
it
is
still
worth
going
through,
because
it
does
slowly
change
the
conversations,"
ETimes
quoted
Sona
as
saying.
Sona
Mohapatra
is
currently
gearing
up
for
the
release
of
her
documentary,
Shut
Up
Sona
which
is
slated
to
release
on
ZEE5.
