Sona Mohapatra is evidently singing a different tune. Having admittedly earned the reputation of being the person ready to entertain “a nari morcha”, she is, in equal measure, nervous and excited to present her upcoming track. She speaks of her “bed scenes” with as much amusement as she does the theme of the song — an older free-spirited woman romancing a younger man. “It’s time we turned the tables,” she announces, admitting that with love being the theme of the month, she’s eager to explore romantic offerings in 2022. 

“I realised that I had been taking myself too seriously, of late, so I decided to approach this [differently]. Noor uses the classical story-telling [technique]. Here, the dialogues that have been spoken and sung are my words. This is the first of a trilogy, and is, in its entirety, an expression of me. The woman rides a bike, is free-spirited, and takes charge of her life. The song encapsulates my love for poetry, love songs, and folk music. At the same time, it reflects my love for adventure, including [activities] like biking and riding horses. I got a chance to play out my fantasy,” says the Ambarsariya singer, adding that the success of the Fukrey track inspired her to give a go at the story-telling format again.
