The #MeToo movement started in India last year when Tanushree Dutta accused Nana Patekar of alleged sexual harassment. Post that, a lot of celebs from Bollywood were called out by several actresses and models. Anu Malik and Kailash Kher’s name also came out for alleged sexual misconduct. As soon as Anu Malik was accused, he was removed as the judge from Indian Idol last year. But this year, he is back as a judge on the show for the new season. Sona Mohapatra was one of the strong voices during the #MeToo movement.
About Anu Malik’s reentry in Indian Idol, one of the Twitter users said, “I saw #AnuMalik back on #IndianIdol Seems like all the men who were outed during #MeToo last year are back in business. Of course they have been acquitted of their charges by committees led by their well wishers. All the courage mustered by women going down the drain.”
To which Sona replied, “Sonu Nigam championed the cause of Anu Malik publicly & his right to be earning millions on nationalTV while saying he’s his mothers son etc to justify his understanding of @IndiaMeToo . Had called Ram Sampath to ‘keep me in check’ while calling me a ‘terrorist’.Must be happy now”
