Now, Sona Mohapatra alleges Kilash Kher of misbehaviour, narrates her ordeal
New Delhi. Oct 10 (IBNS): As the Me Too movement continued to hit Indian entertainment industry hard, singer Sona Mohapatra alleged that sufi singer Kailash Kher had misbehaved with her.
" 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. (1)," Sona said in the first post she wrote in a series of tweets.

She said: "That did not deter Kailash Kher though. On landing in Dhaka & on my way to the venue with the organisers, keeps calling me & when I don’t pick up, calls the organisers phone to get through to me & asks me to ‘skip’ the soundcheck & join him in his room instead to ‘catch up’."

Speaking on her association with the Bollywood singer, Sona said: "The fact that Kailash had sung in my studios & for many projects in which I was the producer & knew me to be as strong as i am or that he had only recently taken a favour from my partner @RamSampathLive to create a personal track for him didn’t stop him. #TheHubris of such #men."

Sona asked Kailash that he should apologise for his deeds.
"How many women will you apologise to Kailash Kher??? Start now. Will take a lifetime. (4) ," she said.

Sona also attacked Kailash for calling himself a ‘simple’ and ‘devoted to music’ man.
Kailash is considered one of the biggest names in the world of Indian music industry.
The shamelessness of this man. To call himself ‘simple’, ‘devoted to music’ & even claiming amnesia. If this chap could dare try this stunt with me, it’s a disease that he has & I can vouch for not only these two women’s stories but hundreds more he would’ve have preyed on. 🔴 https://t.co/UaBL2rfz2h
