In the wake of #MeToo movement, singer Kailash Kher was accused of sexually harassing a journalist, who claimed that he touched her inappropriately during an interview in 2006.
Now, singer Sona Mohapatra who is known to speak her mind has narrated her encounter with the singer in a series of tweets. She stated that when she met Kailash for the first time in a cafe, he kept his hands on her thigh and said, ‘You are so beautiful’.
Sona wrote, “I met Kailash for coffee in Prithvi Café to discuss a forthcoming concert where both our bands were playing & after the usual, a hand on my thigh with lines likes, your so beautiful, feel so good that a ‘musician got you’ (Ram) not an actor. I left not soon after.”

She goes on to explain, “That did not deter Kailash Kher though. On landing in Dhaka & on my way to the venue with the organisers, keeps calling me & when I don’t pick up, calls the organisers phone to get through to me & asks me to ‘skip’ the soundcheck & join him in his room instead to ‘catch up’.”

Speaking about her association with the singer, Sona continued, “The fact that Kailash had sung in my studios & for many projects in which I was the producer & knew me to be as strong as i am or that he had only recently taken a favour from my partner @RamSampathLive to create a personal track for him didn’t stop him. #TheHubris of such #men.”

The shamelessness of this man. To call himself ‘simple’, ‘devoted to music’ & even claiming amnesia. If this chap could dare try this stunt with me, it’s a disease that he has & I can vouch for not only these two women’s stories but hundreds more he would’ve have preyed on. ? https://t.co/UaBL2rfz2h
