Bollywood singer Sona Mohapatra is known for fearlessly voicing her opinion on all the issues related to feminism. Right from raising her voice against those involved in the Me Too Movement to slamming everyone, including celebrities, who disrespect women; Sona has become a flag-bearer of feminism of sorts. Next on her list was filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma, who recently mocked picture that showed woman queuing up to buy alcohol amid the relaxations placed during the Coronavirus lockdown. This, however, didn’t go down well with Sona and she had a befitting reply.
Along with sharing a picture of women standing in line outside a wine shop, Ram Gopal Varman wrote, “Look who’s in line at the wine shops ..So much for protecting women against drunk men.” Sona, in her response to the same, schooled RGV and asked him to get in the line of people seeking education. She also wrote how like men, women too have the rights to buy alcohol and that no men can be drunk and violent with anyone.
She wrote, “Dear Mr RGV, time for u to get into the line of people who desperately need a real education.1 that lets u understand why this tweet of yours reeks of sexism & misplaced morality. Women have a right to buy & consume alcohol just like men. No one has a right to be drunk & violent.”
