Music composer and singer Sona Mohapatra has always been very vocal on her social media account. She has seldom minced her words and in her recent tweet, has made a startling revelation about the time when she was a young adult.


She revealed that she was stabbed while she was pursuing her BTech and also stated the reason why she hid the horrific incident. She wrote- “I was stabbed as a young adult pursuing my BTech.Had a scholarship,was working hard.Hid it because it would worsen matters.Was 21. My ‘heart’ feels relieved for  the benevolent support for 22yr olds being referred to as kids. My head says an adult world is nasty, deal with it..” [SIC]


Have a look at her tweet right here:


The singer also found it strange that only actresses were being singled out as alleged drug users in Bollywood, while none of their male counterparts came under the radar of suspicion. In a verified Facebook post, Sona also spoke about the benefits of CBD oil, of which she learnt during her sister's cancer treatment last year.

Sona's post came at a time when Bollywood's top actresses Deepika Padukone, Sara Ali Khan, Shraddha Kapoor and Rakul Preet Singh were being grilled by the NCB, which was exploring the drugs-related angle in the Sushant Singh Rajput death case. Sona expressed that it feels "rather strange" that only a few female stars are under the scanner, as if the male actors "only stick to milk and biscuits".

Her Facebook post read: "The TV stories feel like a farce esp CBD oil and ganja and Whatapp chats being talked about with such fervour. I discovered what the former was when my sister went through multiple surgeries for cancer last year. Was told of how magical the healing and pain alleviating this could be for her recovery. Unfortunately we couldn't find any easily in Mumbai. Cannabis has been the base of all Ayurveda till the British banned it I've learnt, thus taking away most of its efficacy. So conservatives & ‘custodians of culture' should please note this."

She added, “All this drug discussion would mean something if they pursued the actual hard drug cartels and suppliers also. It is also rather strange that a list of women stars are in the limelight even here. Like the men in film land only stick to milk and biscuits? Having said this I don't have copious tears flowing for any film star. The thing is, these stars are also paid big bucks by brands as ‘role models' and so you can't really have your cake and eat it too?"

"If you want to earn disproportionate amounts of money, you need to be ready to go under the people's scanner too. Tiger Woods did lose Nike, when it was found that he wasn't such a paean of family values after all. There are enough & more stars like Di Caprio etc who do not accept endorsements & choose to live life on their own terms. Say no to double standards please? & yes, dear India, actions do have consequences so best if you SAY NO TO DRUGS too."
