Referring to me as 'wife', speaks volumes about your conditioning: Sona hits out at Sonu

Sona Mohapatra on Thursday shot back at Sonu Nigam, saying that by addressing her relationship with a man to describe her identity speaks volumes about his "conditioning and world view".

Giving a point-by-point rebuttal to Nigam's comments where he labelled her criticism of his reported defence of #MeToo accused Anu Malik as "vomiting on Twitter", Mohapatra said the remarks were in "bad taste".

"To define me on basis of a relationship with another person & not as an individual, going to the extension of memory loss for my name; a gift of patriarchal conditioning.

"To refer to my opinions and stand in the #MeToo movement as vomiting'; bad taste," she wrote.

In a statement on Thursday, Sonu said, "The respectable lady vomiting on Twitter, is the wife of someone who I consider very close to me, so although she's has forgotten the relationship, I'd like to maintain the decorum."
She said she will not "defend or behave with anyone in a particular manner basis a personal 'relationship'."
