Indian singer gets death threats for criticising Salman Khan

Sona Mohapatra had called out his comments on Priyanka Chopra

Indian singer Sona Mohapatra’s recent outburst against Bharat actor Salman Khan has taken a rather ugly turn. A die-hard fan of the Bollywood superstar has sent her a death threat and the singer took to Twitter to reveal it, reported Hindustan Times.

Early on Wednesday, Sona posted a screenshot of threat and wrote, “Such and 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.”

In the picture, the text is clearly visible. It reads: “...about Salman Khan from your bloody f***king mouth, I will get into your house and kill you. It is the first and final warning, you s**t.”

Sona attacked Salman last week after he made a few disparaging comments about Priyanka Chopra, who left his film Bharat last minute to get married. Not taking kindly to his comments, the singer had put out a series of tweets, slamming him. She wrote, “Cause Priyanka Chopra has better things to do in life, real men to hang out with and more importantly, girls to inspire with her journey.”



Calling Salman the poster child of toxic masculinity, Sona added, “A showcase and poster child of toxic masculinity. Low brow dig at not only a woman who was not in the room but a disgusting disregard and contempt for the woman and colleague sitting next to him in the same room. Unless we call out such serial bad behaviour, nothing changes in India.”

Salman has been promoting Bharat, where he co-stars with Katrina Kaif. Directed by Ali Abbas Zafar, the film is set to release on June 5.
