In her tweet, Sona Mohapatra wrote, “Dear @paraga, Ur alma-mater has for decades, mostly never hosted women as headliners in their cultural festival. IITB alumni, even CEOs slammed me on fb for writing this letter.”

Sona Mohapatra urged Agrawal to watch her film �Shut Up Sona’ to get a glimpse of what female artistes have to go through to get equal respect, representation, and remuneration.

The tweet serves as a reminder to what even the most successful women have to face when they come up against systemic sexism.
