Salman Khan’s recent controversial “rape” comment has stirred a controversy which is not going to end soon. On one hand where the actor is criticized by common people, celebs too are expressing their opinion over the matter and it’s good to see that most of them are against Salman Khan, which proves that individuals know the difference between right and wrong and they don’t support the guilty.
Indeed, Salman did make a blunder when he said during an interview, “When I used to walk out of the ring, after the shoot, I used to feel like a raped woman. I couldn’t walk straight.”
The popular singer Sona Mohapatra too condemned the actor in harsh words on Twitter and ever since, she’s abused badly, getting rape threats and warning of her singing career being destroyed but it’s creditable on her part that she didn’t scare or take her steps back after such threats.
Recently, she took to Facebook and spoke her heart out! With her post, you can actually get an idea of how much pain she is in due to Salman’s insensitive rape comment. It’s very sad that Salman made such a big comment without even realizing what pain a woman goes through when she’s raped. It not only tortures her body but also breaks her from within. She’s shattered, in endless pain, and no one can ever feel her trauma.
Here’s the powerful Facebook post of Sona Mohapatra:
A 21 year old was brutally gang raped in Bihar’s Motihari town. Guns & wooden sticks inserted into her, putting her in a critical condition. The culprits are absconding. Yet again.
Meanwhile Soni Sori has been fasting for the 9th day to get justice for other such brutalised & killed women in Chattisgarh.
No TV news debate on this. No glamour there I suppose. Every time I was called to opine on these debates the last few days, the moment I brought up the bigger issue that needs to be talked about & not merely what I said about a comment made by an imbecile..silence..no takers. So I avoided them all.
The fact that I have been mercilessly trolled in the last 48 hours, with 1000’s of rape threats, inundated with morphed naked porn images & threatened to be put out of work & lots more is only an indication of the poison in our society. Poison that gets a chance to flow freely when national ‘Icons’ created not only by their followers & audience but encouraged by their peers & media, regularly misbehave, talk rubbish, do rubbish, don’t get punished, don’t learn from their mistakes but instead get encouraged, celebrated, pack cinema halls & become brand ambassadors of ‘goodwill’.
Depressing to say the least.
Can’t give up though. I have trained all my life for this.
Have to get up, dust myself & live a life worth living.
& in a Billion plus country, containing the largest population of many many good, honourable, hard working people, I will not let the the stupid, dangerous, nasty few win. Who will put us out of ‘work’?? Salman Khan??!! That ‘talented’ (!?) thug? I don’t think so. I can think of 100 different ways to make a living & thrive but I will choose to sing & perform my music till the last day. Not him, not anyone can stop that.
I cannot even imagine the pain of that 21 year old girl, her family & the struggles of Soni Sori but I do know that I can commit to their cause. We are all linked up by the same umbilical cord.
Rape is no joking matter.
Hats Off to you Sona!
