Singer Sona Mohapatra has always been vocal and straightforward about her thoughts and on several instances, she has lashed out against Salman Khan. Yet again, she strikes back and this time, calls Salman Khan “paper tiger”. The singer shared link of a box-office article which showcased his film Bharat’s performance at the ticket windows.
She writes that the superstar has failed to deliver once again and urged her fans to “stop worshipping paper tigers.” Her tweet read as, “Q. What do you call filmi superstars that don’t even deliver a single, full week of returns in the public domain despite all the hype, promotions & posturing?
A. Paper Tigers
(P.S : Stop worshipping these paper tigers dear #India . Let’s find & BE more worthy ‘heros’)”
This reminds us that not too long ago, the actress had targeted Salman for constantly taking digs at Priyanka Chopra who was supposed to star in Bharat opposite. It all began with the actress choosing to opt out of the project citing personal reasons and the makers roping in Katrina Kaif as her replacement. During Bharat promotions, Salman never skipped a chance to take digs at the actress and his frustration was evident. Hence, Sona labeled the superstar as “poster child of toxic masculinity”. She tweeted, "Such & such mails come my way regularly, from the followers of this ‘hero’ of bad behaviour. This beacon of ‘human’ values who inspires such serial toxic behaviour is actually claiming the title of #Bharat, drawing parallels with our great nation, nothing lesser. @NCWIndia"
Speaking of the film’s box-office performance, it has minted over Rs 180 crore so far.
