Mourning an actor is 1 thing. In her X caption, Sona wrote, “Death deserves dignity. So do the living. Demanding that a woman who spoke up about her trauma just shut up is another #India. Since when did death erase uncomfortable truths? Old age a virtue? Death = Sainthood? #TanushreeDutta #MeToo #NanaPatekar.”
Sona Mohapatra questions what Nana Patekar fans expect from Tanushree Dutta
I have no issues with that. What’s disturbing me is the way people are attacking Tanushree Dutta. Seriously, what do you expect from her? She called out women for joining in the cacophony of voices against Tanushree and slammed them, “Really? Is humiliating another woman your idea of engagement? Sona also pointed out, “Dying shouldn’t erase uncomfortable chapters of someone’s life. You can celebrate an artist’s work, mourn his passing, and offer his family compassion. But you cannot demand that a woman rewrite her own history to make your mourning comfortable. Sona also pointed out that while Nana is celebrated for being ‘muffat’ (blunt), no woman would be for being ‘downright rude’. “Tanushree Dutta is entitled to her account of what happened. And if your compassion requires humiliating a woman who spoke up, it’s definitely not compassion. It’s your hypocrisy.
Because she cannot keep quiet when something is wrong, she added, “Nana Patekar passed away yesterday, a celebrated actor, people are mourning him, understandably so, mentioning that she has gotten used to being the most unpopular person in a room.
Death deserves dignity, so do the living,” she said.
