Sona Mohapatra says Ram Sampath Was Targeted By 'Illiterate Gang"

Singer Sona Mohapatra took to Twitter to reveal that her husband, composer and singer Ram Sampath was targetted by an "illiterate gang" in Bollywood and it took him two years to recover. This comes after music maestro AR Rahman took to Twitter to say that he was being targeted by a gang who was stopping him from getting good work.

Sona took to Twitter and wrote in a series of tweets, "This ‘illiterate self-important’ gang works against any genuine, classy, dignified, talented creative professional. Felt heartbroken seeing Ram Sampath go through hell, worse, finally plug out of this toxic biotope 3 years ago. The final straw was #Raees. Took him 2yrs to recover post."

She also took a dig at Farhan Akhtar and Sonakshi Sinha."Not just the low-brow film awards,even in music concerts headlining big international acts, stage is shared by musical greats like Sonakshi Sinha, Farhan Akhtar. The latter also ‘performs’ for the #CokeStudio on ground gigs, women’s orgs, commonwealth games. This is on you #India," she added.

"But plug out we must. Ram dealt with his depression & deep disappointment by blocking many of these bullies from his life & phone register,taking up martial arts,working with,archiving folk & classical musicians in our studio,finding solace in music,writing scripts. #MentalHealth," she concluded her thread.

Sona Mohapatra Says She Never Got A Second Chance After 'Ambarsariya' Got Snubbed By 'Music Mafia'

Reacting to Zoya Akhtar's recent interview where she spoke about nepotism, Mohapatra stated that she doesn't agree with her stance. 

"Your privilege need not be ur guilt but it need not make you so glib,condescending & smug.Of course u cannot ‘change’ ur parents.But what u can do is recognise the fortune,opportunities u were born into.Use ur privilege to bring fairness & balance?No. ‘Will not share MY cake’," she wrote.

"Not very subtle.( FYI, Ambarsariya; both Javed & Farhan Akhtar were hostile/hated it.Only song Excel didn’t bother to shoot a music video for,montage got cut after much. Long story there but of course it’s no surprise why I never got a ‘second chance’. Stood up to the master,” she wrote.

What the 😡😡😡

I LOOOOOOVE Ambarsariya. And was always pissed I don't have the full video for that. These wolves in sheep's clothing.

Was it sabotage ? 😆

Why will anyone do anything to Ambarsariyaa. That song is ❤️

Damn the whole industry seems to be ruled by megalomaniacs needing ego boost from each n everyone who is not part of the gang.

Feel terrible about every artist who undergoes such mental paint for the love of their art. 

I remember she was the judge in srgm on zee. But once #metoo movement started and she raised her voice on it, she was removed and replaced by Richa Sharma.

That's how it works
